There is a seperare thread on this topic. Its the policy of this form which doesn't allow to upload the animated avatar. Its been turned off by the administrators for quite a few years now i think.

Thanks.

My pic is way below the limits then...Quote:
Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 97.7 KB (whichever is smaller).
