Lots of you here have animated avatars, but when I try one it stays static. I've done two so far - a kitten and a doggy. The dog one is really cute. On my profile page it blinks its eyes like its supposed to, but in posts it just sits there looking dumb. Please peeps - what am I doing WRONG? Is it cos they're live action shots rather than toons?

Animated - just go for 60x60 dimensional gif images and it will all work in disucssions.
Hi Its because of size.. Mylot allows animated avatars of 60x60 size. I just reduce your avatar size and uploading it below.. Just update this one and it will be move for sure. Bye.

I don't know! I never tried to upload an animated gif. But I found a site with animated gif dogs, try this: http://www.gifandgif.eu/animated_gif/Dogs/ I hope it will help you! :) Maybe your picture is too big for mylot image avatar format. Cheers! :D

Hiya JazzySue, Whoops I put a y in there at the top hope you don´t mind. Probably like everyone is suggesting the file thing is too big for that spot. I like the Dog though that is very sweet and nice to look at. So I can imagine him nodding his Head or whatever he is supposed to do. Sorry I forgot he is supposed to blink his eyes well at this time of the Morning I am still asleep well almost. I don´t mind him not blinking he looks very nice there on his own. I love the avatar Sreekala has the one with the lovely green eye that blinks with very long lashes. Don´t know where she got that one from but it´s lovely too. But your Dog is so cute he don´t need to do anything just keep giving us that sad mournful look of his. What a smasher.

I have tried this, but i think it has some thing to do with size, when i loaded this avtar of mine, it failed to load, lastly i had to resize it to much smaller, and it got saved, have you tried reducing the size.., it might help thanks for this discussion, cheers god bless you have a nice weekend kalyani

Hi jazz, I think the file size is too large for it to handle? maybe you should try to look for gif files with smaller sizes.. :) Hope I've helped.

Cheers. I thought it might be the file size. Might just leave it - my pup's still cute even though he isn't blinking!
