If you cut and past the thinggy (the address or location) from photobucket to the avatar box, I think it'll work.

Animated gifs won't work unless they're small enough. I used Gifworks to resize the width to 100, then it'll work as an avatar.

OK..I just checked out photobucket. Don't resize it there...it will no longer be an animation.

Well Mona's gif is only 28k...
I'll have to see what my own is, for comparison...

Interesting!

LoL
Mine's only 6k...

So I got plenty leeway to swish my rapier!
NOT gonna drop my mask though... I'm incognito!

The image must be less then or equal to 112 pixels wide by 200 pixels tall.
I believe (and I have not tested this) that you are just limited by the standard posting limit of 356KB
If you want to resize the image without corrupting the animation, here is the site I use to do it, its free.

If you still have problems with it, send it to me and I will see what I can do.
