Disable (animated) gifs as avatars?

How can I prevent users from using (animated) gifs as avatar?

This would be awesome... I hate animated gifs...

Make a check for uploaded GIF's... However, there is a way around it - even if a gif file has no extension, server will still know that it is a GIF... So I don't really know.

Just ban people with animated gif avatars LOL!

Good idea. However, some good people like animated avatars...
Banning them in a such cases would be a loss to you, as the board administrator.

What I'd do is I'd only allow JPG and PNG files to be used as avatars... To do that, a preg_replace fix would be required.

gifs kinda suck anyways... why not go with the jpg/png only idea?

Because I don't feel like looking it up in the code right now. If noone else posts it, I might do tomorrow...

ok tnx

some anim. avatars aren't that bad, but others get really annoying :s
I think alot of people would be very happy with this little hack (should be in vb standard code anyway IMO)

There was a hack that prevents animated gifs.
I don't understand why you don't like them. They don't take extra space or bandwidth because you can set the limits in vb options so what is the problem, with them? Also by clicking the 'stop' button when a page is loaded animated gifs stop animating.
