Edit: You know what, I'm just tired of dealing with this. Gonna change back to my original, and figure this out some other week.

Dear Mods, you can close this at your leisure.

care to link to it uploaded to the likes of imageshack/tinypic/photobucket?

Can't help you if we don't see what the original looks like

what did you make the avatar in? some programs like MS paint don't support animated gifs
opening it up in gimp shows me you only have 1 frame in that avatar, and unless the forum update a little while ago broke animated gifs you might have saved wrong

or copied wrong if it isn't your creation

I believe it was the program I was using(Easy GIF animator 5). This GIF would play, however it wouldn't save right. I'm going to download GIMP and give that a try soon, but I really just don't feel like messing with it anymore.

Edit: Everyone seems to think GIMP is simpler to use anyway according to a google search, so I will definitely give it another try with GIMP soon.
