fixed it
going to write procedure down incase other people get this problem one day.
1. you can't upload gif files, the server converts it to jpg or something auto.
2. to use gif as avatar you need to link it from website/host (wherever the gif was uploaded, i.e. photobucket, imageshack, etc.). then insert link to where it says "Avatar URL". Gif size
must not be bigger than 120x120 pixels. if you have trouble finding gif smaller than that then use this site:
RESIZE GIF
***********************
using picasion,
set SIZE to 100px wide (or set it to custom and do it the way you want) and QUALITY to Best!
happy gif avatar'ing.
Look at your comment. Back to mine. Back to yours NOW BACK TO MINE. Sadly, it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate carp it could LOOK like mine. Look down, back up, where are you? You're scrolling through comments, finding the ones that your comment could look like. Back at mine, what is it? It's a highly effective counter-troll. Look again, MY COMMENT IS NOW DIAMONDS. Anything is possible when you think before you comment or post.
