I have some friends with animated gif on their avatar, I've tried either but still no luck. I'm pretty sure, it is possible, but don't exactly how.

I've got answer...size of image should be small, it worked for me, but that image was not nice, so I've removed, I will search for another.

This is something that Mylot do not supply the information for, so a lot of members have had a problem with it. The animation is dependant on the size of the image uploaded. This is not the overall file size as suggested my many people, but the pixel size of the image. If you reduce the pixel size to within 60 pixels by 60 pixels, then the avatar will work properly. If you have difficulty resizing an animated gif, then upload the image to your gallery and reply to this response, and I shall resize it for you.

I think the only way you can display an animated gif is by uploading it to an interest, or uploading it with a discussion

Yes you can load gif files as your avatar but they wont appear in motion in your profile.They would be moving else where in mylot but your profile.

I beg to disagree with this, how would you explain this? http://www.mylot.com/ryanrudolf this is one of my friends, he got animated gif on his profile as well as his avatar.
