​Q: I would like to use an animated GIF for the portal banner. Can this be done?

A: It is possible to use an animated GIF for the portal banner with some limitations. It should be noted that the animated GIF should only be used on the portal (as shown below).
​

There are many different GIF makers available on the web to create your own banner. If you use your preferred search engine and search "animated gif maker" you should be able to find one. When designing the banner, for it to be displayed perfectly aligned on the portal, the image width must be 980 pixels with a height between 180 pixels to 250 pixels. Also noted previously, when creating the GIF limit the frame rate to around 1-5 frames per second.

To upload the GIF Banner to the portal, follow these instructions:

  1. Navigate to the portal by going to Apps > Manage Portal Address.

  2. Hover over any section in the portal and select "General Portal Settings".

  3. Select "Another Banner" (as shown below).
    ​

  4. Select a banner to display on the portal (or upload one from your computer).

  5. Click "Save Settings".
