Time-animated
Hullo. Now that time is over, could you do one last, complete version of the animated gif? Thanks! Davidy²²[talk] 15:07, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
About the animated Time GIF, I actually prepared one right away at the end, but I haven't been able to get it to upload here, even though it's rather less than the stated size limit, 12 MB out of I think 40 MB. If anyone can suggest what might be going on, I'll be happy to try it out. I did ask in the XKCD forum, but didn't get any help there. Just in case it was a temporary thing, I'll go give it a shot here again after I post this. Wouldn't want to save face or anything if it actually works all of a sudden, after all.—KarMann (talk) 20:04, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
- Maybe it should be divided into some parts, matching the scenes from the explain section. But then we need a navigation bar (next scene, previous scene, select scene), it's some advanced mediawiki edit but it should be possible. Let me know.--Dgbrt (talk) 20:41, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hrm. Could you put up an external download link? I'll try uploading it. In the meantime, I'll get Jeff to bump the file size limit for a few days. Davidy²²[talk] 23:55, 20 August 2013 (UTC)
- Sure thing. time-animated.gif (I should say, it's actually missing two of the last three repeating frames. But I'm not going to bother fixing it until I can upload it.)
- FWIW, what happens is that things seem to be going normally, I select the file, do the summary, click "Upload file", and then I even get a burst of upload traffic right then, like it's certainly trying to send it. Then suddenly I'm back at the upload page, instead of returning to the File:time-animated.gif page as I seem to remember it doing before.—KarMann (talk) 00:54, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
