This image displays all screwy if you don't specify the correct number of pixels. Witness:

Is this a problem unique to this image, or is it true for all gifs? 02:34, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * This is true for most gifs. The problem is that your preferences specifies a size for thumbnails so the Mediawiki software scales the image to that size and because of the encoding in a gif they don't scale well. However, try an even number of pixels in the original and 50% image size which sometimes works. Генгис    03:42, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Ah, okay. And thanks for answering.   15:23, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Both images above look identical to me. However on occasion people have reported glitches in these state quarter images, that tend to be only on one machine, non-duplicable, and go away on their own.  ħ uman  15:53, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * The small one's bad! To enlarge on what Genghis said, it helps to create the image at 128 or 256 or 512 pixels wide/high so that any power of two reduction is OK. 16:03, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * The top image is undeniably broken, and it's silly to expect this effect to "go away on its own". {{User:Pink/sig15| 16:07, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Can you post a screencap of what you are seeing?  ħ uman  17:14, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * This is what I'm seeing.  w easeLOId [[Image: Weaselly.jpg|15px]]~ 17:25, 14 October 2008 (EDT) >
 * Exactly what I see, as well. That's consensus; you can all go home now. {{User:Pink/sig15|Now}} 17:27, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Yup!! 17:33, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Interesting. What size is your default for thumbs set to? Because, IIRC, as long as the "original" is smaller, it just gets reproduced exactly as it is. However, if you try, say, to shrink that 195px image to 150px, problems might arise. Out of curiosity, are all the state quarter images doing this for you?  ħ uman {{User:Human/sigtalk}} 17:40, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Yup, that's got to be the problem. Or part of it.  I reset my pref to 150px and it borked the top image (although, it also showed up smaller, unlike weasels screencap).  ħ uman {{User:Human/sigtalk}} 17:44, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh, I see, his is slightly smaller. What's the default, 180px?  ħ uman {{User:Human/sigtalk}} 17:45, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
