"WHY ISN'T MY AVATAR ANIMATING?" HERE'S WHY.
 

To those of you who want to use an animated .GIF for your avatar but can't figure out why it's not animating, here's why:

If you upload an animated gif that is larger than the allowed size (130x130), it will de-animate the image when it resizes it. But as long as you're within the 130x130 dimensions, your .GIF will will remain animated.
