Gif Images?

[Chickie1998210]

Hey guys. So I will often save my favorite gifs off of google so that I can use them on here as my avatar. The problem is that when I try to upload it as my avatar, they won't come up moving like it should. Am I doing something wrong? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

that's strange, maybe what you are using to upload them isn't working properly.

Save the gif and upload if to tinypic.
Then upload the pic to BI using the direct link for layouts link.
If it's too big - search webresizer and go on there.
Upload the gif (this may take a long time depending on the size of pic) and resize the gif to 125 pixels for width.
It will automatically resize it for height for you.
Then save the gif and go back to tiny gif and upload it.
Copy the direct link for layouts link when uploading it to BI.
Ta-dah! (:
GIFS only work on the forum - you can't see them move otherwise.
