    So it turns out that GIF avatars of a certain file size won't animate. Can we change this? Seeing my avatar not move makes me a sad panda.

    It turns out I can't ignore myself....

    If I can't, no one else should either!

    Haven't clicked it yet. Don't plan on doing so unless animated avatars come in. I hope it asks to make sure first.

    People already have animated avatars. It's just that mine is too big.

    Wow, crazy. No idea how that happened.
    (The avatar images are 96 x 96, so I resized it to that. The original image is actually under the size limit, but XenForo doesn't handle scaling down animated gifs, only scaling up.)

    :O thank you. I tried finding different sizes and manually resizing with some other tool but it either didn't work or became really fuzzy and horrible (no offence goat).

    You earned it:

    PS: I pronounce your name as "bigolus" (like an roman centurion). Hope you don't mind because I can't change how I read it. Ever.

    Testing. Ah.

    I see it now! Fantastic.

    Looks better smaller, may revert to my standard Steam account icon. It's also less obnoxious when it's smaller, somehow.

    Animated avatars and signatures are the worst thing to ever happen to forums.
