Hmm. Well, that’s the way I’ve always used it. I think it’s an American English nuance.
 
Or maybe I’m just dumb. Either explanation works.

@A Sad Pony  
Maybe he means that “learnt” is the correct spelling?
 
 
@A Sad Pony  
Now learn to cure that schizophrenia of yours, hehe.

@Granidas  
I like to think I have.

@A Sad Pony  
→I learned
 
Riiiiight…. Not.

stop repeating phrases in your own post, you moron

BigMax is right. It’s a lesson I learned the hard way.
 
.GIFs get really big, really fast. There’s honestly no choice but to cut out anything you absolutely don’t need, and as such, it’s either impossible or foolish to keep a video-turned-.GIF’s fidelity in any capacity.
 
I learned this the hard way. Back around Season 3’s beginning, I used to upload .gifs all the time, but I did so without attending to their file size. After seeing similar efforts by users like mtobob, who made even better .gifs but at smaller size, I knew I was doing something wrong. That, and I realized just how slow my .gifs were loading, even on my end. (And I can’t even imagine the experience for mobile users or those with lesser internet connections in general, to whom I profusely apologize.)
 
While I did what I did because I wanted to make a really good quality .GIF, I didn’t realize the consequences.
 
Here’s the point of my preaching, and a good rule of thumb: If your .GIF wouldn’t fly on Tumblr or imgur, you probably need to cut it down somehow. While Derpi’s file size upload limit is a supremely generous ~25 MB, it’s not something that should be taken advantage of. I usually have some concern for quality (hard to believe if you see anything I make and upload), so I rarely stay within even Tumblr or imgur’s limits myself, but I try not to get too much bigger than that.

@bucky  
Dude… no.  
Animated gifs are heavy for the browsers.  
Even for desktop browser, but think of the poor guys with mobile phones.

@bucky  
I see…when doing that, upload the parts like you did before, otherwise it wont accept it as you noticed
 
And if someone want to watch the entire video, link them to goddamn youtube X3

@BigMax
 
@Kj2
 
was tryin to make the entire new fluffle puff movie a .gif. I succeed but its just to large

@bucky  
Even though its 30fps, 1 minute gif is way too long…lol
 
Try to cut it into parts or upload it to youtube ^^’

@A Sad Pony  
Who cares?!  
It’s too much, damnit!  
OP should clip it and post a Youtube link instead!

@bucky  
->2000 frame gif  
->122 mb
 
is this before or after optimization
 
and what size is it anyway

@Kj2  
its about 1min 6 sec

@Kj2  
Wait isnt 3 min, its around 33 sec…anyway you got what i meant

@bucky  
The max it allows its 25.6mb by what the warning says….soo yea…i guess you ll have to shrink it a bit or cut some frames ^^’
 
Also 2k frames its a bit too long for a gif…some people might get bored after a while since its at least 3 minutes long ^{(2k frames/60fps=~3min)}

@Kj2  
its a 2000 frame gif 122mb file size

@Wafflecannon  
Actually by what it looks isnt for avatars, its for the booru itself

He could upload the image AND post on the forums…problem solved

Please pay attention to the filesize limit for avatars.

@bucky  
Why? You are bringing a problem about the website and posting it as an image most people won’t be even discussing, so it’s more or less useless.
 
The forums where created so stuff like this wouldn’t spam the place.
 
Whoever says it, BP or no, it is still a valid.
