    How do you get an avatar?

    Dunno really where to post this as I don't see any sections just to forum issues.

    I just tried to upload an avatar and I get a message saying can't upload animated images. I chose one under the 100x100 limit and under the 39kb limit. First I chose a moving gif (a flag) and then just a still image and it wouldn't let me do either. I have seen some here with less posts than I have that do have avatars so I don't know what the requirement is to be able to have one. I see nothing posted regarding this in the forum FAQs.

    I tried email admin from the link but the link doesn't work (admin@digital-digest.com). PMed a mod and he didn't know either. So I figured I'd just post it to get a response from someone who has one.

        Thank you, very cool.

        Is the function just not currently working for the user to do it?

            same trouble for me too!!!

            @Lt.

            I'm in the same vote as Mike89. I've been trying for a while to get an animated avatar uploaded with no luck at all. Just wondering if it is a rule thing so nothing vulgar gets into view before a moderator can see it first? anyway I'll attach what I'm trying to get to see if you or anyone else can please help. Thanks...
