Avatars

I tried to upload an animated avatar with transparencies with no success. I remember YC used to allow animated avatars, why doesn't it now?

Then I tried to upload my old avatar back, but it got flattened! The size was exactly the same as before. Could anything be done about it, please?

Thanks.

I have an animated avatar from before this forum upgrade, and as you can see it still works. I haven't tried touching much because I know there are a few things still in need of tweaking eg. I still can't change the 'master of garbage' thing under my name anymore.
