Can anyone help me get a GIF Avatar for my account? I'm finding plenty of 100x100 pixel images and gifs, but I can't seem to get past the 15 KiB issue? Help?

Simple, don't use a GIF.

The avatar file size limit makes it that you can't use gifs with a lot of detail or frames. Most quality images push the file size limit as it is, and gifs displaying more than one of those would be a lot.

Sorry there isn't a better answer for you!

The gif used in my avatar is 89 x 71 pixels, 8 bits, with 16 frames, and it totals 14.8 kb

Unfortunately that means any sort of detailed gif with a larger resolution than my pixelated avatar probably won't be possible.
