Oversized Animated Thumbnail

coldclimb

So I uploaded an animated gif of some timelapse photos, and the thumbnail in the gallery is showing the full sized animation instead of a thumbnail. I'm going to assume that's not supposed to happen, so did I do something wrong? :rofl And can I fix it?

The photo in question is here: http://www.morffed.com/2010/Eagle-Trail-Fire-Tok-AK/12500001_kLHT2#896243881_Q9f5V
Just let it load, and you should wind up with two full sized animations playing, if it's not just me... :scratch

Try going under tools, more, crop thumbnail and select original and save.
It might have to kick started to fix the thumb.

Not sure what happened here. I wasn't able to fix the photo, but I uploaded it again with the Simple uploader and it's showing fine this time:

You can delete version you uploaded that didn't process.

The animation only shows if you open the photo in lightbox as only the original sized photo contains the animation. Display copies don't have it.

Hope this helps,

EDIT: Looks like your gallery settings are set to largest size medium. That means you can't view the animation unless you allow originals in the gallery settings.

Hmm, I think I might have it... I originally uploaded a placeholder image and then replaced it with the animation when I finished it. I've run into a lot of problems with thumbnails and images displaying right when using the "replace" feature.

I don't know why the settings went to medium though, they still show as XL in the gallery settings. When I deleted my version of the animation, everything else went back to XL except rainforest's version of it, which wouldn't display at full res and therefore wouldn't animate. I just deleted that one and re-uploaded another from scratch, and it's stuck at medium too. Is there an issue with large filesize animated gifs?

The one in question is here now: http://coldclimb.smugmug.com/2010/Eagle-Trail-Fire-Tok-AK/12500001_kLHT2#896593752_HsWnY
