I had an animated gif for an avatar before, but I was going to change it to a new one.

When I tried it said that the file was an invalid type and must be a gif, jpg, or png. Well, it is a gif file and it still will not let me upload it.

I have tried remaking the gif, and correcting any possible errors in the file itself.

The gif in question.

Make sure that when you're uploading it, you check the box for "THis is an Animated GIF"

I'm able to reproduce it, but as of yet, I'm uncertain why the system doesn't recognize it as a GIF. I'm looking into this. Thanks.
