    As you notice (or may not notice) my current avatar is a GIF but it does not play. I know this is really minor and stuff but it'd be cool to have working gif avatars =P

    EDIT:

    ok saw another post about gifs, and apparently they do work but only if you use a remote link and if its small enough. my current avatar i uploaded directly instead of linking, but it doesnt play.

    I can upload a .gif avatar, but it just seems that its stuck on the first frame.

    Edit: Fixed. (Had to resize it in GIMP with a few addons)
