Fanpop Question

Why can't our user icons be animated (gif) if we can upload content that is?

Why is it that when you go to upload a .gif animated picture for your user icon it only shows up as a regular image?

My main reason for asking is because we can upload content that is animated, which leads me to my next question; Why when you upload a .gif animated picture to a spot does it come out looking fragmented and all pixelated? does anyone else have that problem, or is it just a Mac OS issue?

I've always been curious why this is, so I thought I'd ask lol.

Hrmm is might be because most other websites are like that to besides myspace you cant do gif's. I kinda of like it that way many of times gif's are a trouble to download plus i just love the simplness that is fanpop so to me adding something that like would only distract from the pop plus? if we were so concentrated on are icons then who would add content XD maybe its just because they want us adding content, not looking for fancy icons
