@alteredstate
alteredstate try that for me man. I would appreciate a lot thanks!!
Don't copy the URL of the image when it pops up. You have to right click the image itself and then click Copy image location and then put it into your image bar.
That way EVERYONE can see your image.

@ Hukerlover - LOL man you've pasted the link into your status
- select and copy (Ctrl + C) the address RC8 sent you.
- open a new tab in your browser and paste (Ctrl + V) into the address bar
- when the page loads up, right click the GIF and select "Copy Image URL"
- go to your profile, make sure the URL field is empty and paste (Ctrl + V)
[b]IMPORTANT[/b] - Make sure there are no spaces
Voila, that should work.

Okay follow me to the letter...
- Right click you image in this thread (big white square with a small broken image icon in the middle)
- Select open image in a new tab
- Go to that tab and you should see you GIF displaying, right click on the GIF and select copy image url
- Come back here and go to your profile by clicking on your name
- Select all the text in the box for your profile pic and hold backspace for 2 secs
- Hold CTRL and press V
- Click on the password field and type in your password
- Click the Apply Changes button
I apologise for it being an anal guide but, it should ensure success (fingers crossed)

The site RC8 currently uses redirects your URL on their server side, so Prometheus-Movie.com is not getting the correct image url, thus not displaying.
Read [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/1276]this thread[/url] for a possible solution, otherwise try signing up on a free image host provider which offers embedding options for media and simply use the direct URL provided by them.
I'm debating on the idea of having GIFs being limited to members who have a post count over 100 or so. As I could then upload them to our server for faster viewing. If every member on here uses a GIF, it will slow the site down, regardless of how lightweight our platform is. So maybe limiting custom avatars is a good way to promote more active members and save on memory for the site.
I'm locking this thread now as there are already about 3 separate threads on this issue. PM me or RC8 for further assistance on profile help.
Thanks everyone, TBA on my final decision regarding "earning" a GIF via posts.
