GIF Help

[Riley K.K. Maverick]

Hi again. So I have had a lot of people try to help me with this, but it's still not working no matter what I do. Someone on my site has been wanting to use a GIF as their avatar but its still way to huge on the site. No matter where they go. I am trying to fix ti, but it's not working still. So I need help once more.

Have you checked the Administration Panel => Display => Avatars => Avatars management => Personal avatars ?

[Riley K.K. Maverick]

Yes I did. that's for the one's you upload and that are no GIF avatars. I'm talking about when I put in a link for GIF's it comes out WAY to big

This is actually an issue I had on my forum, and the way I fixed it was adding a div tag to a template, and adding a CSS code.

So for phpBB3 do this

Administration Panel -> Display -> Templates -> General -> viewtopic_body

Find this code:

Code:

{postrow.displayed.POSTER_AVATAR}

and surround it like this

Code:

<div id="whatever">{postrow.displayed.POSTER_AVATAR}</div>

then go into your CSS through

Administration Panel -> Display -> Colors -> CSS Stylesheet

Add this code:

Code:

#whatever img {
  max-width: #px;
  max-height: #px;
}

For the "whatevers" add whatever kind of ID you want it to be, and for the #'s add whatever pixel length you want it to be. For my forum I personally use 150 px by 250 px.

This will resize every avatar that exceeds that size to that size.

Okay, so I put that in there but I'm getting an error code that read's

Detected error
We have counted a different number of "{" and of "}". It means your CSS risks to be not valid and will not be posted correctly on your forum.

We advise you to reread your code.

[Ramdaman]

Can you paste your CSS here in a code bbcode if it's not too long? This is so I can revise it and detect the error.

[RazielBach]

As Ramdaman said, a post of your CSS would be helpful.

If you copied the code I posted exactly, there should be no issues with missing brackets, the missing brackets are most likely coming from something else you have in your CSS or accidental removal of them.

[Ramdaman]

Adding on, your CSS should look like this.

Code:

Selector {
attribute: value;
attribute2: value;
}

Revise your CSS if you wish not to post it, make sure the brackets, colons, and semi-colons are in their proper spot. If a CSS code does not have either { or }, it will have given you a warning message. Same goes with the ":" and ";"
