Remote file uploads disabled. Why?

[DEATH eVADER]

I'm not entirely sure if it was disabled deliberately, or whether it was never enabled when you upgraded vBullitin (it was upgraded wasn't it?).

The reason why I wanted to know is because I'm trying to upload a new Avatar that I've been using on other forums. Its an animated .gif file, those from the SupCom forum will know what it is (a rotating head).

If I can't do this, will I be able to copy it to my HDD and upload it from there on to the forums, and have it contain the animation?

I don't know for sure why they're not enabled or if it's deliberate but it won't be a problem for you to save it to your computer and then upload it from there. You'll still have the animation.

Thing is though, I believe the limits for avatar sizes are bigger at SupCom than they are here, so you may have to resize it anyway.

Thank you and, yeah, the image size is 60x60, which is a shame, the only art tools I have is MS paint, and resizing doesn't work on (well doesn't translate to the new image for some reason)
