This is a limitation of GD. Contentteller always resize avatars to the default width. I will make this optional in one of the next releases.

You mean it doesn't have support for GIF? I thought I read somewhere that they needed to pay a license?

Does imagemagick have the same problem?
Softpedia seems to be using Invision Power Board and they allow animated avatars.

Are you sure this is related to resizing?
The default avatar width in CT is 85 (at least in Preview 2), and the animated gif with the dropped frames is 80px x 80px, and it still drops the frames.

Thanks cosmin.

It appears that anything Internet Explorer based is sending image/pjpeg as mime type for progressive jpegs. All other browsers are always using image/jpeg. I will add support for image/pjpeg in the next preview release.

Your installation has gif support after Contentteller resized and remove the animation. Other solutions such as Invision Power Board are not resizing the image automatically.

I will not support imagemagick because it needs to be called from the command line. There is an  imagemagick extension for PHP but it is still experimental and not installed on many servers.

I will send you shortly a test script. Please upload the avatar in question with this script and post the result here in the forum.

Interesting, it works fine here. Which PHP version are you using?

I just sent you an email with the problem details, the images in question, and details about a new problem I discovered as I was writing the message (frames being dropped from animated gif files and a screenshot).

I thought at first that the default avatar width of 85 was preventing the upload since the jpeg was 127px wide but it still fails to upload after I set the allowed width to 200. I also tried setting "Automatically approve each new avatar" to yes but still the problem remains.

Where exactly appears this problem? In the admin backend or the user front end? Can you send me an email with both images? I cannot reproduce this problem so far.
