Now I really feel old. 
For those who can make them, I say go for it.
For people like me, well............uh? the static one is okay, right?

The avatars on WC have to be in .jpg format.
Note: Image will be scaled to maximum of 50x50 size. .JPG file format only.
As far as I know .gif and maybe .png are the only formats that support animation.
(Someone more knowledgable correct me if I'm wrong.)

You're correct, tjesterb. Why not a change? Allow .gifs. Just a suggestion.

I think allowing .gifs would be probably easy if the coding was set up correctly. It should be able to be switched in a control pannel (Only if they made one)

Thanks Bichur. Frogboy? Any hope for this? Weaksid said it can be done and he's never lied to me.

.gif's might increase load time....maybe not one at a time, but pages of them sure would.

Cerebro said the one thing I thought but never posted. If people start putting .gifs in place of the .jpg. This could increase or decrease load time. I guess it would come down to how well the server will handle the file format. It's a iffy issue. The developers should know more on this subject since they coded the site.

Also while I'm at it, it comes down to... Did the developers think ahead to maybe allow other image formats to be used?

Animated avatars would drive me nuts personally.
But if they are allowed I bet you all that Jafo's avatar would have something to do with that "spell correction" smiley of his.

Looking at the .gifs posted against the .jpgs. It will definally increase load time. You think it's sluglish now.....

No offense, but who said go find a monkey wrench?
Maybe if it hadn't been mentioned they might have missed it (hope hope).
But yeah, you're right. AnS [to name just one] has lots of animation on their site and it takes forever to load (dialup), but then they also have a lot of graphics {tho not as much as I seem to remember}.
