i downloaded a gif from tumblr to put into my about me, and tried uploading it to imgur (like i do with all my other MAL images) and it said "invalid file type", is there another site i have to use for gifs or do i have to go through a whole other process? 。 ゚・ (>﹏<) ・゚。

(i thought this was worth mentioning for some reason, but it is a .gif file.)

file size, image resolution ? avatar / pfp / generated signature / list wallpaper ?

for signature you can use external image, [img] link [/img]


one of them is 1.7 kb in size, and the other one is 2.6 kb, and it'll be used for my about me, so can i still use
[img] link [/img]
for it?

yes, use img bb code
only external images can be used in the "about me" section, even ".gifv" should work ig

Oh that's true, sometimes imgur convertes the .gif to .mp4 or another video extension for some weird reason

Thanks,I've never heard of GIFVs,so that's what imgur does?
The website became crap after they did that change,now I finally understand why it happens sometimes and why it not always happens

Use imgbb.com
For it. It also gives you bbcode generated with it.
