IDK if everybody will consider it a bug but i thought i would post it any way
so when i change my avatar and select:
Your image avatars
* Upload a new image from your computer
and if its animated it wont upload animated
but if i upload to an image hosting site i.e. tinypic
then put the url in
Your image avatars
* Enter a URL to an online avatar image
it will work
and sry about bad grammer
