It has to be under 40kb .

 

[Gerri Shin]

did you try uploading it or linking to it?
Just make sure it doesn't exceed the size limitations (130x130 or 40kb)

 

[Careful With That Axe Pichu!]

Animated .gifs often surpass the filesize limit set to the avatars for regular members on PC. That's probably the issue, the file may be too large.

As an additional note, higher ranks in PC (Supporters, Staff) enjoy less limited size requirements for their avatars and profile pictures, etc. That's why you'll probably see staff members use bigger avatars than you are allowed to upload.

filler filler

Respect the character limit, do not use fillers, please. =)

41kb, actually.

There's a field in Microsoft GIF Animator and probably whatever else can edit GIF images (e.g. Photoshop) called "Duration (1/110 s)", making that number lower is how I got my avatar small enough in filesize; also, removing every other frame may help if you can afford to do so.

ill consider all of that.
thanks for your help
