Making animated avatars work
I've gotten the gif down to about 35kb, and it still won't work. I've tried uploading and hosting on my own site, but still no luck. I know there are a few users on here with animated gif avatars that have file sizes larger than that, so anyone know what could be up?

It's the internet gods telling you animated gifs for avatars are a bad idea.

What are the dimensions? If it is too big it gets resized by the forum software and that will remove the animation.

Can you guys stop with the animated avatars? Totally unnecessary.

File size is huge for some reason, like 10x what it should be for that simple a gif, but that's why it won't work; too big filesize wise.

The moving shapes and colours distracting for you, MMF?

I think I've been using the same animated avatar since about a month after I signed up.
But I tried to make sure the filesize wasn't too large so it would load faster.
