    For some reason, when I went to change my old avatar (inputted before RomU switched to SMF) to another GIF image, the image does not move.I switched it back to the old image and that image did not move either.

    We've always used SMF so I'm not quite sure what you mean by that...

    The resizing done by the forum kills the animation. You need something that's 96x96 exactly to maintain your animation.

    Smaller dimensions should work as well.

    Okay sure.
    Sorry I thought new forum design = new forum program.

    Used a 60x60 picture does not work.

    Right. Well resize it to 96x96 before uploading then.

    Hi,

    Followed the advise here, my Avatar I uploaded is 47.1Kb, 76 x 96 pixels, and it still fails to animate...

    Any more advise guys??

    Yes. 96x96 not 76x96.

    aha, I thought it was max-dimentions, not exact dimentions, my bad!

    (2nd attempt)

    Yay! Success!

    What's the file size?

    The one I had here wouldn't animate even with the 96X96 requirement, so I got it remade...from 80kbs approx to 20kbs, don't know how they got it smaller file size wise, but it works unlike a simple re-size.
