I am currently trying to change my avatar into a .gif, and when I uploaded the image it would not work, does anyone have an idea why this is happening and what I should do to fix it?

Make sure it is >100kb and that it is smaller than 90x120

The forum's automatic resize stops the animation, use GIMP to resize it first.

Many thanks.

Yeah this forum's avatar uploader is very picky as to what it will and will not accept. You have to make it just right.
