Avatar problem.

[Pa'li Makto]

I really want to have an animated avatar, yet whenever I put upload the gif as an avatar picture, the avatar is a still picture rather than a gif.

This is what I want my avatar to be like:

Does anyone know how to fix this?

That's a lovely .gif.
Perhaps the file is too big? But it looks like it should be small enough to work.
Not my area of expertise.

Thanks Iron Jones.
I'll try to reduce the frames in it to make it smaller and see what happens.

I want to know how to make those.

I've had some cool ideas for .gifs but I don't know how to make them.

Nice to see that it worked, Pali.
Wonderful .gif

Yay thanks again! Your comments earlier made me look at the avatar file restrictions, so then I got it to work by reducing frames and reducing colour.

I want to know how to make those.

I do, if you have photoshop CS3 or any of the later versions I could help you out. Or you could send me a file and I could make a gif for you.

If the ability to upload animated avatars is abused, it may be removed. If you're sensible, there will be no problem

I'm sensible.
