Hello, It seems we can do a GIF for the avatar. I have tried countless times and still cannot seem to do it right. I see it can be done (https://twitter.com/GREGORSALTO) but I do not know how. I have tired scouring the internet to find helpful links but it leads me nowhere. Can someone please help me out? Thank you.
I think it might be one of the cases where twitter no longer allows the use of animated .gif files for profile pictures, and this person uploaded his avatar before twitter created that rule. However, there seem to be applications that you can link with twitter that make your avatars animated. You could try to research that. That said, those applications are loopholes, so I wouldn't be surprised if they either didn't work at all, or performed poorly.
Hey YJunK, Thanks for the reply. I've tried using the link below and a couple other links and nothing seems to work. http://www.dailydot.com/lol/gif-twitter-avatar-loophole-6-steps/ Any other suggestions? As always, thanks for the help.
If twitter doesn't want you to use gifs as avatars then I don't think there's much you can do to change their mind. I think you might have to accept that you're going to have to be as boring as the rest of us. I'd love an animated avatar too though, so if you find a way, please let me know.
This seems pretty cool. And i saw the first twitter page, if it is still working on that account, then obviously it would still work. So i think you should continue to try that out. According to what i can see, it would work. Its not like twitter is only favoring the old accounts who have done this, obviously if they have set a restriction now, then they would delete the old ones too. So keep on working on it.
