There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain

They were disabled in february 2019, as depicted in this thread: Stop animated images in FireFox / Tor browser / Chrome.

Apparently, they were not intended to be allowed, buy PNGs managed to get away with it until the matter was looked into and promptly handled:

OK, APNGs are now detected. Old ones are grandfathered for now, in part because people have ongoing campaigns, but in the future I might (or might not) go through and remove them.

They were pretty annoying and distracting when reading (remaining still are ..., but there aren't that many around visually).

I do not know if others see it as I am seeing it, that one alone beside the OP post is distracting me from reading, if many members are wearing animated avatar, it will be a distraction, some people still go by disabling avatar and signature, more people will because of this animation thing disable avatar and signature ads because it will be disturbing reading what others are posting, the animation will be appreaing annoying.

Good for you that now almost none of the members wear the animated avatar expect me. Wink

(as it distracts your reading )

I don't know how it was before, but I think that I would be extremely annoyed with everyone wearing those animated avatars. It's one thing seeing an ocassional animated avatar like it is now, but seeing whole thread full of those tacky things is something completely different.

Anyway, good call by theymos and I hope he doesn't change his mind and bring that back.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

People are somewhat irritated about the animated avatars that's why there's a solution made, yet theymos completely disabled it for good, though I don't know the primary reasons but you can check:

I am wearing this avatar for a long time and it is an animated one. But for sometime now, animated avatar has been discontinued and only static avatar can be worn.

Can i know the reason for this change because animated avatar looks more attractive and also it does not consume any extra data/network cost.
