Someone I know is interested in making her TFP avatar an animated gif. So, we saved the animated gif that she likes to the desktop of our home computer directly from the website. Then, we went into TFP - User CP - Edit Avatar and uploaded the file we'd just saved. However, the new avatar was not animated on TFP.

So, I tried the exact same process step-by-step at work the next day and it worked perfectly. Once again, tried it at home and it didn't work.

The file is animated on the home computer and every graphics program we have recognizes it as animated, but when we upload it to TFP from home, it is not animated. When I try it from work, it is magically animated on TFP.

Of course all I have to do is upload her new avatar from work, but we'd still like to know why it doesn't work from home. Is there something that needs to be toggled differently somewhere? Firewall tweaking?

Any ideas?
