Hm, I've bunged this in General Chit Chat because I couldn't think where else to put it, I'm really sorry if that's bad!

Basically today was my first day of being allowed a custom avatar so I figured I'd do a little artwork to celebrate. However, when it came to uploading it transpired that the image would only work as a .gif, not a .jpeg, which seemed unusual. I read the earlier threads about avatars but as I recall JP remedied whatever fault users were experiencing at the time so I assumed this was something to do with my files rather than AntiOnline. But what is the actual difference between .gifs and .jpegs? The irritating thing is that the .gif rendition of my avatar has altered the colours badly, giving it a blotchy look where the colours should be smooth. Is this usual? I never use them so I know NAHthing...
