I'm having a problem with changing my animated avatar to a different one.

[replicant222]

I currently have an animated avatar but when I try to change it to another one it says "You may not upload animated images". The new gif dimensions are below 180x180 and also below 256KB.

I included the new gif for reference.

Help? Thanks.

It has to be below 97.7 KB...

It has to be below 97.7 KB...

The new gifs size is 93.9KB.

edit: I went ahead and even made the gif half the size just to make sure it's nowhere close. I made it below 100x100 and the gif I want is now only 27KB and it still says the same message. It doesn't appear to be a problem with the size. I dunno. lol

I'm having the same problem, not being able to upload a gif as an avatar. So is this info really outdated: "Note: The maximum size of your custom image is 180 by 180 pixels or 256.0 KB (whichever is smaller)."?

If so, then I'll probably not use an animated avatar, because it's hard to see clearly what's in there after a certain size/quality threshold.

I was planning to use this:

Thank you very much.

So, is there anyway to permanently fix this? I would like to use an animated gif as well, but I also like to change my avatars frequently and don't want to have to chase down a mod every time I want to mix things up.

Thanks

So what is the solution to this problem? I gave up over a year ago for this issue.
