I just recently made my avatar. I uploaded it as GIF and it worked. I don't know whats wrong. If it works on your computer when you bring it up it should work on here.

Did you re-size it? Sometimes when you re-size the animated gifs to fit into an avatar, it only resizes one frame, and it no longer moves.

Muddy, it's not an animated gif, it's just a gif.... And you're trying to resize it. Our limit on avatar size is 140x140, export it at that size. You're doing something wrong... even in the pic above, it's not animated. I don't know flash, but there are a ton of free animated gif utils out there. looks pretty cool! Get that thing goin!

The one i found is EXTREMLY easy to use. I used the wizard for my stuff it makes it way too easy, but here it is: http://www.download.com/Ulead-GIF-An...7.html?tag=pop

The only problem is that its a 15-day trial which sucks.

THanks Breakstuff for the link! That was super easy to use and I think I'll have to buy it. Here's my first attempt at making an animated avatar.
