Use a gif image as avatar

[Lenko]

Hello:

I have a forum with NodeBB 1.2.1.

Some users want to use animated gif as avatar, but when they try to uplad the images only can select jpg, bmp or png.

I've installed the nodebb-plugin-imagemagick but nothing changes.

Is possible to use animated gif?

Thanks for your help.

I solved the problem many months ago, installing the plugin nodebb-plugin-imagemagick.

Can you explain how you solved?

It always "just worked" for us. No plugin necessary.

@arranka Have you checked if you have the Convert profile image uploads to PNG option on Uploads settings disabled?

It was long ago, very possible that things have changed. Is that plugin still current?

If the plugin has not been updated, easily it no longer works.
