Animated Avatar?

Ok this doesnt really have anything to do with actually making a game (cause im all set for that),but how can i put a pic in my signature and how can i make my avatar on forums a animation. Sry for the trouble guys. (Been working on game so much havent really learned how to use the site but i kinda have a vague gist) TY PPL WHO ANSWER FOR FUTURE PURPOSES !!!

Not entirely sure but I think any image that can hold different frames of an animation should work, a good example is .gif's they're intended for web use and can have different frames inside the one file.

You see the pic i have right now (the horse looking thingy) is supposed to be running and its a .gif so ya...

Hmm... sorry, can't say I know then :/ Jon is actually the only person I know on the forums who has an animated avatar so maybe if he can chime in... :/

Jon, can u help me with that. Hey guys another question, how can i put an animation in my signature?

You can't because we process the image a bit coming in, so an incoming GIF will lose its animation. I had to manually upload mine to make it like that.

How did you manually upload it? (my picture is also supposed to be a gif)
