How about an example link and I'll try it on one of my forums.

edit: Just a sec, I'll try the one in the first post.

edit again: The one in the first post is huge. I'll bet it is getting resized for your site if you have the requirement that they be smaller and therefore it's getting turned into a jpeg. If you want animated gifs for avatars, they need to be the correct size prior to uploading onto the site or else they get resized and non-animated in the process.
