    As stated in the title, I recently did a new profile picture change for my old GIF to a new GIF. It just wont animate properly !

    I did a few tests :

    1. Trying different px sizes - doesnt work
    2. Trying a smaller frame size - also doenst work
    I found out that if i upload a 175 x 175, it animates as gif only on profile page with the exact 175x175 , but it becomes a static image jpg 96 x 96 when minimized while surfing through threads.
    Like<<<< that small picture , that is converted into a 96 x 96 JPG instead of a GIF that is animating.

    But if i were to upload a 200 x 200 or above, it straightaway becomes a static image jpg with 192x192 on my profile page, and needless to say it is still a static image jpg 96 x 96 while surfing trough threads.

    Looking through the forum, I found that this incident may be similar to the ones happened before :

    Thank you !
