Animated gif guidelines for avatars?

[breakpoint]

I have seen many animated gifs used on the site by members and I have tried a handful with zero success so far I have made my own and failed to have them animate when uploaded but they animate fine when viewed on my pc, I have also downloaded them and then uploaded them as my avatar with the same result. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I know VB is picky about animated gifs from what I have learned from google after trying to search for a solution for my problem, just haven't found a solution to it I know the size of it is fine or it wouldn't upload at all. It just stays on the first frame and that is it.



Thanks

Not that i'm an expert, but it may be a good idea to download someone elses animated avatar, and check format, size etc in your image editor.

Animated gifs have the same restrictions as non-animated. That being 100x100/120x120 and a file size of less than 20/25k. If either of those isn't correct, the forum software makes the gif a single, still frame.

If you'd like help, I could take a look at it.

I stated I had tried creating my own and downloading numerous other ones other people had created.

That would be great:tup: I will send you the URL of where it is located.
