Animated World and Global Covers
Feature Upgrade · Images & image management · Created by dxactivatxd

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
With the ability to upload GIF images, we seem to not have support for using these images for World, or Global covers; We can, however, use GIF images as page backgrounds, so why can't we use GIF images for something that is more upfront, and more visible to our audiences.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
It would give us the ability to put the GIF images we upload to more use, and it feels like something we should have the ability to do.
What are other uses for this feature request?
The only use for GIF images being used as covers (that I can think of) is being able to express the importances in our worlds more, and open up more oppurtunity to engage new readers.
The Team's Response
Not a no, but it will need a bit more support because this will require an integration across the board that will also mean that all images used as a header will need to no longer be cropped or in any way optimized which will require some work to decouple. - Feel free to resuggest at a later time, I am keeping a note of this.

on 2021-10-24 07:43Sounds good, hovewer I would vote for adding support of webp format as well (as it seems to be future format replacing GIF). We can always go little further and add support for webm format as well.

on 2021-10-20 00:07I just don't think this should be a priority. It's nice, sure, but I'm more interested in ease of use improvements.

on 2021-10-18 02:25Got to be careful with this. Gifs are distracting, and very annoying at times. More people will click away from an article to not see the moving images because GIFs stops them from reading. But, as an article cover, at least you would be able to scroll away from it. Still not sure how I feel about it though...

on 2021-10-14 16:47Gifs as a background image are more distracting than as an article cover (you can at least scroll down away from the cover)

on 2021-10-13 01:21This would be very helpful. I just had to get help with this yesterday in the CSS-Help channel on Discord. Once applied, part of the CSS wouldn't work on a different browser, so I had to get more help. While being able to use CSS as a Grandmaster, some ranks won't be able to use it, which seems unfair. @Dxactivatxd makes a good point for those wanting to use it. Perhaps it can be a tier based thing.
