GIF as an avatar? - passwords - Nov 14, 2018
I found this pretty cool GIF that I would like to use as my avatar.
I tried uploading it but as you can see it's just a static image.
Why is that?

Jesus, that would be one annoying avatar. It's probably the photo size though.
Edit: The maximum size is 100kb and that gif is 614kb.

Slow the gif down and compress it. Best of luck. If you need help I recommend PMing Fortunate.

Haha, no problem.
That is a very interesting GIF, I need to do some data removal after downloading that one 😏

Yikes I think that would be annoying :)

This is why we don't want huge avatar size limits.
