Does anyone know whether you can use an animated GIF as an avatar? I've tried a couple of times but the picture isn't animated when I upload it to Settings. It works as an animation ok in a browser.
 
I beleive you can. There is a poster on here who has one - a gun aiming, but I'm buggered if i can remember who it is.
 
Can't really remember, had it for a long time. Think I saved the gif to my computer and then uploaded it in the avatar settings, not sure what the allowed size or how big the file can be now though.

I have tried that and it ends up static. Thanks anyway.

Never had a problem putting a gif in a signature though so must come down to file size
 
I downloaded the tiniest GIF I could find and was told that "You may not upload animated images", so god knows how BRB did it.

I'm guessing here but BrB has been a member since 2003 so maybe that avatar has been in place for a long time. If I remember correctly the site underwent some big functionality changes a few years back, maybe the ability to upload animated avatar gifs vanished after that upgrade. Like I say, a big guess.
