The forum software reduces oversize images to fit the avatar size limitation automatically. Reducing it kills the animation.

I think it is still not working...   :(

If you make it small enough it will work

Yours works if I open it in another tab. So I think the avatar resizer is still getting you.  I don't know what the max avatar size is.

There is also a file size restriction, set by admin. Yours is a photo with lots of frames so it could be too large file size. Just guessin..
