So why can't we have them? Not like it is absolutely important. Just....on other forums we can use them, but here they don't work at all. Just the first frame of the gif and nothing more.
Asking this out of pure curiosity.

P.S What programs are used to make avatars like the ones in my sig?

Your avatar is a gif.

marcipaans · 05-08-2010, 08:37 PM

I know it is. What I meant was why aren't they "moving"...you know what I mean.

I saved your avatar on my computer and it isn't moving.

The problem is on your side........................

Just because it's a gif, doesn't mean it is animated...

Anyway; I had an animated gif as my avatar when I first joined, and it worked fine. It might depend on the file size.

It wouldn't upload in that case.

As for the programs to make such a gif: photoshop is one.

They do work but if you upload it won't animated.
You have to upload it on a pic site and use the direct link for it. But the limit on how big you can have it is small if it goes over it won't work.
