Closing this ticket as duplicate of SPARK-548, because it seems that no animated gifs are working as avatars in Spark, so this is more a feature request. None of the attached gifs worked for me.

Here is another animated avatar from Troy Duval that works in Spark.

Attached is an animated gif from Spark user tduval that works fine as an avatar (thanks, Troy!). Hopefully Derek can use this as a point of comparison to help figure out what is preventing the other attached gifs from working correctly.

The stickman avatar works in personal chat windows but not on the main roster window.
The headbanger avatar (my personal favorite) doesn't work in either place.

I looked into this issue since it would be very cool to have it work. The problem is the fact that the animated images used are too large to be avatars and therefore go through a scaling process which destroys them. I would not be able to fix this.

Derek made some changes to get this working on Monday, but today it's not working again.
Animated avatars work in Pandion, so it seems like we should be able to do the same.
If not for the 1.0 release, then for a later release.

Animated gifs can be saved in one's profile, and they appear in the profile window correctly, but once that window is closed, they don't appear anywhere else. Instead what you see is an outlined blank box.
