I know what a “GIF spacer” is (a 1x1 pixel image resized to the desired width and height), but what’s an “animated GIF spacer”?
- pjc50 6y agoA small animated gif occupying a space between paragraphs or comments. I've not seen one for a decade, but google provides an example: https://www.oocities.org/itsamemario2000/english.html?202025 https://www.oocities.org/itsamemario2000/english.html?202025 the animated green lines.
