Animated GIF

[Claus Juul]

I tried to put in an animated GIF as a space icon (Confluence), it did not turn out animated.

I am guessing that Confluence do not support animated GIF as space icon's am I correct ?

It would be kind of cool if this kickass, cool looking software (Confluence) could have animated GIF's as space icons

Atlassian will not do animated gif's

The comment chain in here is hilarious. Even the description of the ticket is funny.

Gif seems to work.

Hi @Flavian S What application did you use to create this gif?

@Flavian S  what appli cation did you use to create GIF?

[Tyler Jurgens]

Can this be used as an project avatar though?  Embedding a gif into a confluence page is wonderful, but I want my avatars to be animated as well.  Its pretty critical to our workflow.

@Tyler Jurgens You might ref. this thread. I've glazed over the idea as well & have come to no avail. Best.

I've tried but then got the error "insufficient unemployment". do you know how to fix it?

Claus,

You can run animated gifs, I have about 40 of them in my Confluence. What I found was that if you altered the size of the gif then they don't run when you open the page. However, if you click on one, it opens in a pop up and is animated.

We're running V4.3.7 locally. What are you running?

Cheers.

[RambanamP]

yes, it won't support check this issue

Yes I have, this is in regards to embedding ekements on a confluence page, not a space icon.

[Claus Juul]

I am running 5.2.3, what I was looking for was animated space icons nothing more than that.
