April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

JanitorV-sync issues? At least can't find any in the file itself.
I guess because of the resolution some software might have issues playing it back properly. Just use video format to avoid this kind of issues.

MemberSome monitor+browser combinations of mine had horrible v-sync issues on the face, and only after I optimized it. Also I find it hard to justify using video for a second-long loop, but that's just me.

JanitorYeah, that's what I figured.
There is most definitely tradeoffs with gifs and videos. For really low playtime loop with low amount of colors gif is still usually better. This does still appear more than fine for me and it's easy to link FA version for those having issues.
It's when resolution, complexity and amount of colors gets higher that gif starts to become more of a pain. If using video format and the loop is under second, from what I have tested looping it twice/thrice and remembering to disable audio completely overall works these days just fine with almost everything.
Then there's of course APNG which got supported with chrome and opera quite recently, but I have no idea how that format still evolves or works and webp which is pretty much chrome exclusive at this point.
I always get semi-worked up on technical aspects when animation itself is great.
