I had problems with an animated GIF. An error would occur when I tried to update the profile. I created it with an JASC Animation Shop 3. Thought that might be the problem so I dug up an old, old copy of MS GIF Animator (circa 1998) and recreated the avatar, same result (error) when I try to update the profile. Had to to revert back to my PNG. the animated GIF is 4.53KB and my PNG is 4.66KB.

They changed it so that there is a different size limit i believe

I use ImageReady (HISSSSSSSSSSSSS) ... but it's 3Kb..that shouldn't be a problem (seeing Eitherbrains flaming eyeball is almost 4Kb)

There was a problem with animated-GIF avatars, and the Chefs suggested sticking with a static one 'til it's fixed. I haven't been here in a day or so, though, so I don't know if it's already been resolved.

Animated GIFs currently won't work, sorry.

Ah... alrighty! I'll stick with the static one for now then.
