How do you make your avatar move? I'm having trouble.

I found a picture with about a 3 second loop on the animation, but when I set it to be my avatar it doesn't move. Can someone help me? I tried using the URL and uploading from my computer but neither work...what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Uncle Si ... try the item know as "save target as " instead of saving pic or video ... not sure if that will do it, but it's worth a try

My guess would be your original pixel count is too high. The maximum is 100 x 100 pixels - apparently if you upload something larger it will automatically shrink the pixel count and in that process it disables the motion.

If neither of those work it may have to do with the size of the file. Try finding another gif just like it or try a different gif all together and see if one of those works. If none of that works try posting from a different browser firefox, chrome, etc.

Yep, that's it. Your GIF file pixel count is too high. Just uploaded one that was slightly larger than 100 x 100 and it stripped out the motion. When I uploaded one that was exactly 100 x 100 it works.
