We are happy to announce a new feature we have added to our account codes page (http://www.insanejournal.com/invite). We now support showing you the kind of invite code you have purchased. This is useful if you have purchased Permanently Insane and/or Self-Committed account codes. You will now see them and be able to easily identify them in your invite code list.

We hope that this makes things easier for you and prevents using codes for the wrong things by mistake.

    Could we change the maximum file size for icons from 100kB to 200kB? A lot of us have needed this for a while now, and it would make creating gif icons worlds easier for the users that do this.

    I know a lot of us would really appreciate the small file size boost. 100kB is such a low cap in 2020, it makes editing gifs for icons an extremely hard task, and even when you manage it they tend to suffer a lot quality-wise.

      That would be actually amazing. I make a lot of gif icons and icon sets and working within the limits of the current file size restraints is extremely difficult.

      I strongly agree. I can't use gif icons I find on tumblr or other webpages because I have to convert them down so much that I basically have to just remake it.

      This would be so, so appreciated! I understand not wanting to put too much pressure on the database, but the small increase would make life about 1000x easier.

      This would be amazing.

      i think this would be a really rad thing!

      Definitely agree that we could use a change like this!

      Ugh, yes please! Tumblr gif icons are so much bigger that it's impossible to just transfer them over. :(

      I think a lot of people would find this helpful!

      Yes, please! It is such a struggle to get a quality gif icon with the 100kb cap.

      Yes please!

      This would be fantastic!

      Yes, this would really be awesome to have!!!

      Hard agree with this suggestion.

    • [info]mightydrea

      Yes, please! As an icon maker and someone who uses gif icons a lot, this would go a very long way to helping that.

      Please! This would be awesome!

      Agree with this, but only if it doesn't mean lowering the total amount of icons available for free accounts (or any account type, really). It's not worth having a few larger gif icons if in return there are less icons overall. Or if it would have any kind of impact on server performance. But if it's just a file size increase in general and causes no negative impact, that'd be cool.

      Agreed! I know I, for one, would be more likely to shell out for extra userpics more often if I could add some higher quality gif options to my icons.

      You know what, you could even increase to 300 or so if you supported the site in between sales. No, I am not squeaky, but a user who hates when stuff like this is asked for and there's usually a struggle going on to keep the site open that users really don't know about. There's a lot of icons on tumblr I'd like to use as well, but yeah.

      Anyway, you probably do support it. Just sayin.

        I've already asked you not to contact me, Mandy. Please stop harassing users on Squeaky's site updates.
