Re: Gif profile upload error

Your problem is probably the resolution if it's only 10 frames. The file has to be under 90kb, so I'd try resizing it to a smaller resolution.

You said you made it online, right? Just make it again, but first resize all the images you used down to a smaller resolution.

Or open it in GIMP, and resize it from the Image menu.  wink
