Thanks for making the Avatar changes.

I would still like to see transparent Avatars supported, but at least we can finally use .png Avatars properly, as opposed to having them (badly) converted to .jpg.

That's all.

And what about transparent animated GIFs?

I have a very small but very close-knit community and we've been together for five years now - longer if you count the original board we all came from. One of our traditions is the secret santa avatar exchange - we pick a name out of a hat (so to speak) and make a holiday avatar for that person. Since we've been doing this for so long, everyone looks forward to hauling out the previous years' avatars and 'wearing' them throughout December. But we can't do that this year, because nearly all of them are animated, and the animation is a chief element - snow and twinkle lights, for example.

That is one of the many reasons why I would like to be able to use animated avatars.

I've never heard a complaint from a member about an avatar being animated and or too distracting. Either way...here is a simple fix to add animated avatars into posts:
