@Honor It seems uploading an optimized gif straight to imgur doesn't work, I'd suggest taking that optimized gif and making a new one from the copy frames. That seemed to work for me.

If you get a .gifv then drop the v at the end and it will recognise the file type. However you typically get a gifv if the file is quite large and in this case it wont upload because it is too large. Here's a work around: Go to GIF Optimizer at: https://ezgif.com/optimize Click 'Choose File'. Select your EZGif gif file. Upload it. The LoTC forums doesn't allow avatars with the size of roughly 1.1 MB or higher. However by selecting 'Lossy GIF'. You can increase the Compression level until it falls below the limit. Don't put it up too high or you'll make your picture very low quality. Once you increased the compression level hit 'Optimize it!'. Here it'll tell you how much the file size has reduced. Again don't drop it too much or you'll lose a lot of color and detail. Once you have done this save the .gif to your computer and go back to the create GIF stage, as uploading an optimized gif straight to Imgur doesn't seem to work.

First find the picture you want to make your avatar. Don’t worry about size this technique seems to work no matter the width of the picture. Now, if you haven’t already, save the picture to your computer. Go to: https://ezgif.com/ Click on the GIF Maker section on the subheadings. Once on this page click ‘Choose Files’. Select the photo you saved to your computer. Once you have click ‘Upload’. Once you hit upload you will reach this screen. Copy the photo with the marked button and make sure you have roughly 5 copies as shown below. Once you have done this click ‘Animate it!’. Highlighted below. After you’ve animated it, you will get your output below as a .Gif. Save this file again to your computer. Go to: https://imgur.com/ If you are unaware of how Imgur works; select ‘New post’ highlighted below. Once you do hit ‘Browse’ on the pop up. Once you hit ‘Browse’ select the .Gif version of the image. If you hadn’t changed the name of the output when you saved it it will be labelled as ezgif. Once it is finished uploading it will take you to the image page. In order to proceed refresh the page. This is important as Imgur rarely lets you open the image in a new tab directly after opening it unless you refresh the page. Once you have refreshed, go ahead and open the image in a new tab, this should work successfully, if not refresh again or wait and refresh. If successful, copy the link in the search bar. This is the link you will need to set your avatar. Go onto your forum profile and select the button to change your profile. Select ‘Import from URL’. Then paste the link stated above into the input box. Once pasted, hit ‘Save’. Once you have hit save you’ll get a loading icon. Do not wait, the forums believe you have to resize the photo but you do not therefore it is stuck in a loading loop. Simply hit ‘X’ and close it, doing this does not ruin it. Once you have exited the pop up, go ahead and refresh the page as it will need to be in order to check the result. Quickly go ahead and check a recent post to check if it had set properly, in this case it has. A lot of people have a lot of different techniques for this process but this one has worked 100% of the time for me with no faults, conditions or problems and I hope it helps others. COMMON ISSUES File type .gifv not recognised. File size too big.

tell me im wrong tho !

Do you mind expanding on this further as it's too vague to accept.

What are they? Clubs are a feature on the forums which allow a group of players to come together in either an open or a closed nature. It allows players to post club related content within them that won’t otherwise be seen on the regular forums. This allows for further expansion on OOC topics such as Video Games or Anime, this gives greater room for concentrated content. There are two types of clubs which will be introduced. These come in the form of open clubs and closed clubs. Open Clubs Open clubs are for broad topics such as Anime, Video Games, Nation Communities, etc. These groups are open for anyone to join. Therefore, for this reason, they must abide by the general forum and OOC rules on LoTC (link). Open clubs are free to be moderated by both its leaders and general FMs depending on who is available. These clubs should not be used for roleplay purposes as there are sections on the forums already for Forum Roleplay and Nation Roleplay posts. Closed Clubs Closed clubs are for smaller groups and controversial club topics, these can come in the form of politic related clubs. These are a request to join based club which forces players to opt into viewing them so that no one who isn’t apart of them can see what goes on inside. However, because not everyone can see within these clubs doesn’t make them exempt from moderation or Forum Moderator intervention. However, closed clubs will be able to apply for exemptions in the rules should it apply to their club. In the application or new exemption request they will be able to make clear what they would like to have leniency on and it will be reviewed for acceptance or denial. These exemptions will be clearly outlined in a club via a thread so FM know what is permitted within them, however if there are still posts which break the rules not exempted players can still be punished. Clubs expectations and maintenance For all clubs, we expect that players keep good behaviour and activity within clubs. The last thing we want are a hundred clubs which never see any action. For this reason, we’re trying to condense them into fewer clubs which have a lot of activity. This way the community can make the most of clubs and what they can offer. Should club leadership fail, the clubs themselves can be subject to deletion or given the importance of the club simply have the leadership removed and replaced. We don’t expect daily activity but if a club goes months without use it can be subject to reviewal. This also goes for clubs that don’t uphold their rules frequently and opt to ignore the rules without exemption. Club Application Format Exemption Application
