The normal usergroup, which you and the vast majority of users are under, is disallowed. That's a staff decision that I cannot address. One of the Administrators can address that policy.
If there is a user that is using animated avatars, it's likely a staff (Administrator or Moderator) as that usergroup appears to have the permission. Probably could be considered a perk

I checked the usergroups. Admins/Mods have the ability while the normal usergroup does not. The examples you provided are in the normal usergroup, but do have animated avatars. I'm going to make a guess that A)It was a policy change and those accounts still have the animated avatar - but won't be able to change it to another animated avatar or B)The Administration made an exception.
An Administrator, such as CRAGER, will probably provide some insight. Basically, the majority of users are in a usergroup that doesn't allow animated avatars so it appears to be a policy. This is nothing wrong with your account or singling out your account.

You guys should offer a paid members support kind of thing that allows for extra benefits like the aforementioned; I don't mind supporting my Home Community with an annual due, most are in the range of $10. Put a members pack together with some numbered members LS1Tech stickers along with other perks like an automatic 10% off on purchases that are made with the sponsors and I think it would work. Just a thought.

I've had mine since I joined the site. When they switched over to not allowing them there was a thread about animated GIF avatars. Crager was nice enough to change it back for me instead of having the red X that used to be there. Thanks, Crager!

Those are some cool ideas, but most people would frown on paying to be here.
I think a VBulletin update we had turned off animated avatars. Members that already had them uploaded were yes grandfathered.
I went ahead and turned them back on for Tenured Members (50+ posts and/or 6mo). File size is a file size no matter what type it is. Nobody should lag because .gif images under only 19.5 are being loaded.
Beaflag VonRathburg - No problem good sir!

Yeah I am not new to forums, I have been an admin on a few and co-founded as well, I've also mod'ed a few car clubs in Miami, I was the KING of getting perks for our members, lol...
Thanks for showing some love and turning the animation back on; I'm sure it will add some fun to the profiles

I stayed away from my Admin powers and logged into your account making sure I was within size/file size limits and seems to work. And yes I saved your avatar:
...if you still have issues just post up the avatar you'd like to have and I'll upload it for you.
