You can't unless you're on the mod team, or an old subscriber (not sure if they can change to a new gif though)
You can't.

Another one of the many features requested by the community since they removed it from the us mere peasants.

You are too lazy to even set a picture.
As it stands only forum helpers and above can with the exception of old subscribers and people who have left the team but still retain their sub usergroup permissions.
Subscribers were people who paid to have certain features like a username colour, gif avatars, secret areas and stuff. Sub permissions for volunteers and forum helpers are pretty much just a thank you perk for all the effort everyone puts in

Yeh but it needs to be 100 x 100 and under 50k or whatever unit it is otherwise it won't work.
If you send me one you would like I can resize it for you :smile:
Interesting, never knew that this feature was limited to certain users.

It's true, I am. I don't like the rounded view it now has. I liked the old rectangular avatars.

Under the suggested forum there is a little arrow you can press and can choose which forum it goes into :smile:

The old forum layout was just better in every single way, but our overlords know best.
