I try to upload a gif avatar to my forum and it ends up being still? How do i fix this please

Most likely because it is being converted from gif to bmp so only the first frame of the sequence is being captured. I believe this is a bug with 2.0

You could try Photoshop or some free on-line software to see if it will convert succesfully to jpeg.

SMF v2.1.3  Mods : Snow & Garland v1.4,  PHP  v.7.4.33

Is it possible to get GIFS with a modification then?

Hi.

Make sure the gif is within the size limits you have set for avatars, if the software resizes it it will break it !
