I've tried to upload a gif as an avatar, but it appears as a still pic. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! The extension shows as .gif - just wondering if I'm doing something wrong, or does the site not permit gifs as avatars? (I've seen a few members here though with ''animated'' avatars.) TIA for your help.
No idea. I had mine for years, before the new software was adopted. I have been scared to try to change it since then in case it stops working..
Yea, I wonder if it can’t be done since the upgrade. I’ve tried uploading with the .gif extension, but it’s not working. Good point. It’s a gif I’m looking to add. I’m not sure a regular animated pic would upload (like Bells’)
Lol Is that the avatar showing? What are they supposed to be doing? (not standing still, I’m assuming)
Now that you've seen it I'm going back to the old onePlease Register or Log in to view the hidden image! They were supposed to be moving like they were dancing.
The one I want to upload is a bird sitting on a branch, but another bird is flying up to join it, then flies down. You’d have to see it lol Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

Thanks - I had taken these steps when I tried to upload a gif of my own originally, but it didn't work. I tried yours, and it didn't work. By ''work,'' I mean...it displays like a still pic.
That one didn't work for me either. Maybe it's too big? When I tried to use it as my avatar it didn't move. When I click on it on my computer it does move so it's just a sciforums avatar issue.
Ah, it could be too big, but it's not telling that the file is too big. It uploads, but remains still. Well, that's a shame, I like that one. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Hey look, it worked! So, it's a size thing. Edit, I changed it back...but I tried your ''bells'' avatar, and it worked.

Will save a bit of time only sending those which might work as avatar Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! I would like this one, too ^^ But, the file is too large. It's so perfect though. It's the size that is the issue, so I'll have to find some smaller gifs. Thanks for the help!
Yay, I did it. It is a size thing for sure, I had to find one like around 200 x 160. Even though the dimensions on sci forums say 200x200 (at least).
Omg, it works! The key is that the gifs need to fit under a certain ''kb'' no matter if the dimensions are small enough. This is 32. I tried others that were around 90 - 100 and they didn't work. Yay! Thanks, Bells!! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
