I wanted to ask why can't we upload animated avatars?

cris, your animated works perfectly, but when I try to upload it, I get message, that I cant upload animated. How did you do it?
Thanks in advance!

You might have to link animated avatars to an off-site host, like Photobucket or Imageshack.

We've referred the animated avatar problem to Andy and as soon as he gives us an answer, we'll let you know.

your animated avatar works perfectly as well
well, I asked one of the admins to upload the avatar and they kindly did so, that's why I have it
and for the external hosting of avatars, it's not working, I tried photobucket, imageshack, tinypic, supload and nothing I always get the following message: invalid file type or invalid address

Thanks to the mods, admins and Andy who are working on this

that's what happened to me too. i tried uploading from my Photobucket but got the Invalid URL message. uploading from my computer has never worked for me also. so sad.

Uploading from my computer seems to work, but uploading from Photobucket doesn't. I get the Invalid URL message when I try to upload this avatar from Photobucket, but it works fine when I upload it from the computer.
