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?
Here it is:

Shank you! :D
You missed a spot !
:D
Make sure you get in there and scrape it all out.
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.
what the fuck did you do to my avatar?

nevermind, i dont want to know just forget it no big deal
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.
Okay now I'm on my tablet and it looks just fine, weird. Thx
