    Why is it I can never get one to work properly? What am I doing wrong?
    :bang:

    It'll run on my computer, I've uploaded directly and I've used my photobucket and a link and it just doesn't work, I just get one frame on it.

    Do the animated smileys work? Because if not, you could have an animation blocker on your system. They sometimes come with virus killers or firewalls.

    Yea, they work ok here, but it refuses to in my Av. Then one I have at the moment is the one in question. I can put it in my sig, it works there but will not in the Av.

    Enlisted Person has that problem with his Avatar too. Hmm.

    I wonder why just you two have this issue. :unsure:

    You're trying to upload an animation that's 40 pixels too wide. The limit for avs is something like 200x200 or 250kb. The board software will automatically shrink avs that are too big when they're being uploaded, but for some reason it can't differentiate between animated and non-animated.

    If you did a quick resize, or just uploaded it, only the first frame of the animation will be used.

    Use Timmy's version. :)
