Enable animated gif avatars like right now. I spend hours trying to find a decent converter to scale my avatar down to suit the file size limit. I uploaded it to find out it doesn't animate. It's stuck on a frame in which I'm not actually picking my nose! Look closely! My finger isn't even touching the rim of my nostral! The horror!!!!!

As a security mechanism, the server re-encodes all uploaded avatars itself. It prevents such feats as the attachment of non-image data to images. Unfortunately, this causes only the first frame of animations to be rendered. This is a known bug in the forum software we use. I am able to disable that security feature, but am generally inclined not to do so. Are you able to specify a link to an animated avatar?

That's quite large, bytewise, for an avatar. I'll make an exception while the community is small, I suppose. I am able to shrink it to just over 600KiB by fitting it to the correct size, anyway. I'm also able to shrink it to 900KiB simply by encoding it with a non-shitty, non-Windows GIF encoder. But that's another story.

I set it to a correctly-scaled version of the GIF you posted.

that's not funny it isn't animated and there's a black rectangle covering my sexy nose! Forget it.

Are you using Internet Explorer, or something? It renders fine in all of my browsers.
