Ok I got it working but it's kind of fucked up now and has weird grey squares in it

Edit: just to test I'll see if it acts the same way here:

Yeah........... sadness

It took a few different tries at resizing and exporting to get it sort-of ok.

have you tried using ezgif?
https://ezgif.com/webp-maker
there are repair tools for gifs, converts to webp, also optimisations to reduce file size

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I tried it and somehow it got worse shatter

Making it smaller by changing the file dimensions seems to make it render correctly.

Thanks for the help but it still seems to be happening for some reason

Hm, it looks like you're right. I don't know what's causing it. Hexbear is doing something to the image on the backend after it's uploaded that causes these blocking artifacts.

Sigh. I changed my profile picture for troubleshooting purposes, and now when I try to change it back to my signature rotating hammer and sickle I get an error code on that specific image and I just can't get it working again no matter what I do. guts-rage What the fuck is going on in the backend code.

I tried to switch back to the bocchi pfp I used when we got pfp's and it doesn't work now either lol
