Can we use png files for emoticons? I want to try a couple I made as they are much cleaner around the edges than gifs, but when I ftp them in the emoticons folder they won't display in the emoticons list in admin panel. I had to ftp them as I got an error message when uploadng them in the admin panel. They are definitely in the emoticons folder as you can see from the ones I linked to here;



      


Also is there a dimensions limit for avatar size?

Yes on the dimension limit. Admin panel/topics tab/avatars and attachments.

The other? Hmmmm I never looked in to it. I imagine it would work but will have to look. On the list now :)

Hi Steve,

Maybe not. There are several places in the software where the icon file name is generated programmatically and given a .gif extension. So png files won't work.

This applies to the post icons in the forum lists, for example.

I think the emoticons are similar -- I will check it tomorrow.

regards,

Martin.

Got it, and tested on this board. Since it involves board code I'm posting it in the members area.
