Well I'm staying with 50x50 for now till the comment areas for skins reflects the new space to place the image. Made a comment and noticed mine was cut in half almost. So till they get everything ready for the new images I'm sticking with what is working well in all areas.

The load times for animated avatars would be horrible on the forums.

They just look out of place on WC because WC hasn't received the upgrade yet.

So, I thought while I was at it, I would update my screenshot but can't get it to apply. The upload is successful but the image keeps changing back. Have logged out and cleared cache but no go!

Animated images are more taxing on resources, just look at any of those animated gif-laden threads, they're a nightmare. Then, imagine that on EVERY thread. Nothing like having a bunch of annoying, flashing, distracting images pulling attention away from the actual content of the posts.
Not to mention...they're tacky. Awful flashbacks of 1990s era angelfire sites (or today's myspace sites, ha) loaded with a bunch of random ass animated gifs.
Sure...some could be artfully done, like the sparkle on my halo, would be nice if it had a subtle twinkle. But, what's to stop a bunch of people from making horribly done, epileptic seizure-inducing monstrosities? I'll stick with static images thankyouverymuch.

I have to agree here!
If they were ever implemented it should be done on a url type setting so anyone using them would have to find their own host .This would keep Stardock's band width down and not impact the loading of the text (to bad )
IMO

OK...I updated too, and it worked. With any hope, I'm using 60x60 because the 100x100 is too messy with WC's current layout...
