I have been posting .gif files for years, and today this web site won't take them anymore. Why?

 

Hey @MikeML, haven't made any changes preventing gif files. Perhaps the file size was too large? I've made some adjustments server side to allow for slightly larger upload sizes.

What is the upper limit now for a .gif? I tried to post this one as a .gif instead of a .jpg (which uploaded without error).
When viewing my posts, attachments posted as a .jpg come up pixelated and with muddy colors compared to the same attachment posted as a .gif.

Here is an example attachment; one uploaded as a .jpg, the other uploaded as a .gif

file size is 185kb

file size is 46kb

Maybe the .gif is too small

 

I had the same .gif problem the other day for several hours. It then went away.

 

I just resize your file to 21.545KB(297x300), there is no any problem to upload.

 

What kinds of the browser do you used? (chrome, firefox, IE)

Firefox

My .gif files are tiny compared to the cooresponding .jpg, and look better when viewed...

 

The circuits was uploaded from Firefox, the system is win xp3, it's ok to me.

When I post the circuit that I also using *.gif, that is really looking good and there is no compress.

 

The circuits was uploaded from Opera, this system is win xp3, it's ok to me.

I don't know if it is related but I have had problems with flash and uploading .gif files. I finally turned flash off for here, and only enable it when needed.
