Did you know that animated GIFs uploaded as profile pictures are still stored on the server as the original GIF and actually work correctly which means there is literally no reason why they can't implement animated avatars on this forum and it is absolutely to do with monumentally chunderboiled forum politics?

Apologies, but animated GIF avatars won't be possible. I found a solution that was supposed to make them possible (using ImageMagick library), but all it accomplished in testing was to eat up server resources and then didn't actually work. So, they won't be coming back.

Fascinating, I'll just sit here with my fully functioning animated avatar after like 3 lines of code. XenForo sure is a great and adaptable piece of software. FIX IT OR DIE!

#481 Egyptian Blue was the first synthetically produced colour. Its creation dates back about 5000 years when the Great Pyramids were being built.
It was made by heating lime, copper, silica and natron, at a temperature close to 830 degrees C.

The knowledge of the process was lost with the fall of the Roman Empire,
and not until the 1880s was the manufacturing process recreated.

... In medicine, orally administered Prussian blue is used as an antidote for certain kinds of heavy metal, the ones with pointless growling.
Interesting. On that note:

#483 Peach Black was a colour made from roasting peach stones in airtight containers.
During WWI The Red Cross organised the collection of millions of peach stones that were turned into charcoal.
It was then used in gas masks of Allied troops as activated charcoal against German chlorine gas.
(Other natural fibres can also be used).*

Only 2 industrialised countries have a formal so-called debt ceiling: USA and Denmark.
