    Judging by your current avatar, it's probably a good thing it won't play. Otherwise it'd probably be banned for not being PG-13...

    that doesnt answer the question , i had an avatar like that too but i also couldnt get it to play. I think it might have been something to do with how i saved it (might have saved it as a picture and not a animation) but im not sure though. I dunno how any of this crap works yet.

    It's probably too large for the forum limits. The avatar size limits are 120x120 PIXELS. Any larger than that, it turns it into a regular image and shrinks it. Same with PNG images with transparent backgrounds, unless you have it saved as 120x120 PX it will not be transparent.

    Correct Skordy. Resize the animated Gif to 120px wide using Gif Resizer (freeware) or similar.

    I for one would love to see Famousoverdose's Avatar animate

    If it doesn't play that means the file size is too large and you need to shrink it below 100kb

    Can't help you then. I got mine resized by an awesome artist, had to lose the color in the image to get it under the limit. Have you tried that?

    How long is the animation? Might need to crack out a proper GIF animation tool like Ulead GIF Animator or Coffeecup GIF Animator and cut the number of frames down. Or as Tommy said, reduce the number of colours in the palette.

    Yes, but Tommy's is in greyscale, which reduces the filesize as there's less BPP. Remove some frames, lose some colour detail, resize it further down, it should then be under 100kb.

    Proper GIF animators? Those are REALLY basic gif tools, and can't really do much with them. ImageReady or Photoshop CS4

    Send the picture to me in a PM, you'll lose some color but I believe I can bring your avatar down to forum limitations.

    That's exactly the point - i'd prefer to recommend a basic trialware tool to do the job instead of Adobe bloatware.

    Unless you're using *cough* warez, not everyone here is going to have access to $700 USD software
