This was already asked in the "Best Avatar" thread, but I think there was no answer.

Is it possible to upload an animated avatar? I'm told "You may not upload animated images." even when both size criterias are taken into account.

Volo, animated avatars tend to be quite distracting (we've had some in the past!), and since we are here to read what others have posted, not to see a site full of avatars (there are other sites for that!), we'd rather have members choose non-animated pictures as their avatars. It's really only supposed to be a visible identification of the person who's writing so that you can recognize others' posts easily.

Yes, sure. It's ok with me, but I was just asking if it is intentional that one can't upload them anymore.

There have been problems with the clock once again. Any chance of fixing it?

I have brought the problem to the administrators' notice. I hope they will be able to fix it to show the correct time soon; we may need to be patient, if it's a time-consuming task.

Ho-ho-ho!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I gave up with the clock some time ago. I used to wait until the BD clock said 12:00 before posting the news. Now I don't bother.

Just pointing out that we don't have the calendar for this year.
