GIFs in your Avatar!
In case you want an animated Avatar like mine as well, follow these simple steps.
1. Search for a suitable GIF (and download it or copy the link)
Should be roughly square and still keep in mind forum guidelines
2. Open a editing Software/ Website and import your GIF
I've used LunaPic (https://www140.lunapic.com/editor/) it's pretty easy to use, but any somewhat usable Software should work just fine
3. Scale and Resize your GIF
This is the most important step. The GIF has to be exactly 128x128 from what I found out. If you are using Lunapic you can do it like this:
From uploading your image, select Crop, then choose the square. Adjust it as you like and press "Crop". Then hover over the "Edit" Button and choose "Scale Image". Now enter 128 either for
height or width, it should fit the other dimension accordingly. Now save the image as a GIF by hovering over "File" then choosing "Save File". Make sure the file you saved is still in the GIF format.
4. Upload your new Profile GIF
Now simply use the normal Profile Picture uploading (middle option) to upload your GIF. It should now work and actually be animated.
Hope it works for you guys, haven't tested it excessively so don't hate on me if it doesn't work for you, thanks!
