I set http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj94n8Xgkt1qbj1hto1_500.gif as my avatar, but my avatar is just a still image (the original was an animated GIF). I've seen other people with animated avatars, so I know it's possible. Is everyone else seeing it as just a still image? If so, is there a way to fix this?
i just saved the gif to my computer then loaded it onto my profile. nothing special. maybe the file size is too large on yours... try a different one and see if it works.
If the forum has to resize the photo then it will lose it's animation. Make sure your image is no larger then 150x150 and has a file size smaller then 50kb
Thanks!!! It worked!!!!
