    Uploading .gif avatars

    I wanted to upload the avatar (or at least link it), and it didn't work (see the screenshot attached). Is there some policy against uploading animations or having animations as your avatar? I mean mendhak has that weird 3 eyed frog as his avatar which animates...

    Also, when I tried linking the file via URL, it said it was too big...?

    Your file size is bigger than our limit. Our size limit is 20,000 bytes and 100x100 in size.

    You might want to remove "***" from your image since it is generally not considered appropriate.

    Thanks,

    Brad!

    No, seems something broke after the upgrade. I had an animated avatar but all the same frame (lol). When I tried to update it it gave me the same error message (my avatar image size was within limits too). The limits are:

    "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 64 by 64 pixels or 19.5 KB (whichever is smaller)."

    Doesnt say anything about animated avatars
