Because animated gifs aren't allowed. But I don't see why not either assuming the limit is kept under.
Petro. I agree w/ DW. There is no difference between a .gif thats 35k and an animated .gif that's 35k The Load time is the same, it doesn't consume any more space. If anything it adds more character to .tgg especially the fact that we can do animated .gif's that small. Not challenging you're authority but I think I speak for some if you would reconsider your stance on this. 35k -400x100 is completely Logical and I agree. But no animated .gif's if they fall under this criteria is a head-scratcher.
