In the last few years (@ least over 5), I have noticed that whenever I post a .GIF animated avitar (and I make sure it is very much under the allowed pixel and byte size), I get only the all-too famuliar "Small Square X" in the avie space, and I used to be notorious for posting animateds...Other members' older avie post animations (including some of mine) always work, but I only see a few new ones that show up animated, otherwise I see the same thing as when I post a current animated...I don't have any sort of problem when I post a stationary (also under the allowed pixel & byte size)....Does it have something to do with server space, or maybe whererever the information is distributed from caedes central to terminal locations?
