How do you upload a gif as a moving avatar?

Thread Starter 
What are the restrictions for the gif file to be seen as moving after you upload the file??

I have tried downsizing the images to 50x50 pixels, 75x75 pixels, 100x100 pixels and the gif is less than 10kb and it still doesn't work.

Please help me guys.

UPDATE: i did try to download some avatars of some members here and some of them are even as large as 100x100 pixels and 25kb and they still work. com'on someone please tells us the rulessss

I read somewhere that moving gifs are banned as avatars. Obviously there are still some around, but maybe they can't be uploaded anymore?

Last I checked, they're no longer allowed. Current ones were grandfathered in from the before time.

It's a character, Jam, from a fighting game series called Guilty Gear.
It's the dizzy animation and I put a spiral behind it.

IIRC, there have been some relaxations of the rules occasionally, to allow avatars with 'subtle' movement, but clamp down on those with distracting/epilepsy-inducing flashing.

Mine has been constant for some while, I can't remember when I made it.
