@The Derpy Hooves, to use a GIF as a profile picture you must meet a series of specific requisites:

• First of all, it must have its dimensions put to 150x150 as a maximum size, with an streching to 150x200 if you are a Donor or Suscriber. Unlike with normal pictures, you cannot let the forums resize it for you, or else it will be treated as a PNG, thus using only the first frame of the GIF.
• Now it comes the size, which is the most common problem. A maximum of 100kb, or 150kb if you are a Donor or Suscriber, is what you are required to have to be able to use a picture as an avatar here, whenever it is a normal picture (PNG, JPG...) or an animated picture (GIF).

Did this helped on any way?

Remember that the image dimensions on animated gif's must be exact. If you let the forum software auto resize like it will with other avatars it will break the animation. Before loading make sure everything is precise.
