I want to add an animated .gif to my profile for posting, but the file I have is too large for me to upload (according to my prefs page), but I've seen banners and icons that are much larger is filesize than the one I have (just over 150kb). What I want to know is how people are setting them up. I have already uploaded the image to my profile, but it ony displays in my image tab, and I'm not sure if that is even the right way to do this. And yes, I also went into my prefs page (the one that is a pop-up window) and it won't accept a url, and says the file is too large to directly upload.

any help is appreciated!

You must host it at photobucket or imageshack and copy and paste URL of it into where you normally upload them.
