Gif files - size limitation?

[pkeyz]

Hello folks,

is there any reason why my gif-uploads are limited to a maximum of only 1 MB? Gifs bigger than 1 MB always resulting in the motification "Ooops, we ran into problems..."

Is 1 MB the maximum size ? Just curious because I've already downloaded gifs from other users which have been bigger than 1 MB.

Any information in this regard is well appreciated.

So yeah, it's not a restriction on GIFs but any image over that size. The limitation is in place to keep a cap on how much hosting space and bandwidth is used, otherwise it would be several times over what it is if we gave people unlimited hosting or even upped it by something like one megabyte. It would make a massive difference in the long run.

The GIFs you have downloaded which you've seen other people post must have been uploaded elsewhere; and wouldn't have been hosted on FreeOnes. An image doesn't have to live on FreeOnes servers in order for it to be posted, you can use an image host which supports adult content. If you check out the URL of the GIFs you are seeing other people post, it may give you some ideas on which sites you can use to upload your own images/GIFs to with a view to then sharing in a post.

Many thanks for the detaillled information!
