How to Put an Animated Avatar on Forums
Animated avatars are mini videos or moving pictures that represent you in a forum. The best quality animated avatars are in GIF formats. Almost every web browser supports GIF formats so you can be certain the animated avatar will work. GIF files can be compressed into a small size without a large decrease in the graphic quality. As long as the forum supports GIF files for avatars, you can upload an animated avatar to represent you.
