How to make Avatar gifs?

[Elijah Thorn]

So I've been trying (unsuccessfully obviously) to upload some sort of avatar gif. I've done it before, but I just can't seem to get it this time. I'm directly linking gifs from imgur/uploading them as a gif from my desktop, but neither method seems to be producing an actual gif for my avatar. Instead, it just uses a picture of the first frame of the gif.

Is there any sort of trick to consistently get this to work?

This is because when you upload a gif bigger, it gets resized down - and breaks. 'Cause format doesn't support.

At least it seems to hide how fuzzy the gifs get after you optimize them 3 times and resize them to half their original size
