How do I get them to work in my avatar? The one I have right now isn't working

Animated avatars are enabled...and I've seen animated avatars on other peoples' profiles...it'd have to be your image. Try uploading it to imageshack.us and linking to it as your avatar, versus having it on our server.

still doesn't work... :(

Did you upload the .gif file to be your avatar? That's what I did, and it's working fine.

yeah. It just stays on one picture...

MM...I have the same problem.

hmm.. works fine in my signature.. just not in my avatar...

Same problem here

I tried to put that Homer gif. as my avatar, but it was stuck on one image, and the gears I'm using now don't move, even though they should.

I think if vB has to resize the image, it eliminates the animation... :/ Make sure the avatars are at or below 125x125.

That makes sense.

Yeah, cuz I used to have one that didn't work.
