    Hey guys,

    I've just noticed (after all this time...) that my avatar isn't moving...and I want them to move!

    They are supposed to jam out in the car and it worked on the other forums, but when I upload the .gif file they are static. Does anyone know how to get them to move? I think it may have something to do with my mac opening up the .gif in Preview as separate pictures and not a moving image; is this a factor?

    Thanks,
    AC

    I would assume the forums block them for being annoying as hell.

    i assume the forum does support gifs, as seen by turbin3's avatar, but maybe only certain types. perhaps they are limited to a certain length until the animations repeats itself. or only a certain maximum of images per second are allowed. just guesswork though.

    probally yours is compressed by the forum and therefore loses his animation. try uploading it somewhere else and use a link. then it will work.
