I see that photo size limit is 2 MB - what's the file size limit for moving Gif types?
What's the best way to now add a moving gif file?
I tried to add a moving gif file (which was 1.84 MB) as I would a photo, but it loaded as a still image - have things changed?

"WHAT PICTURE TYPES CAN I UPLOAD?
The forum accepts the following file types for images:
gif (including animated gif files)
jpg (and the alternative extensions jpeg or jpe)
png
psd (multi-layered Photoshop image files)
You cannot upload bitmap files such as bmp, pcx, tif or tiff files, raw images, or vector image formats such as wmf, cgm etc.
Note that our server has an upload limit of 2 Megabytes for individual pictures and the forum has a display size limit of 1440 x 900 pixels. Although you can upload a 2 Megabyte picture, the forum software will then make an attempt to scale your picture to a convenient size for display which approximates to 1400 pixels in the largest dimension. Anyone subsequently downloading your picture will get the re-sized version… not the size at which you originally uploaded it.
Pictures which exceed these limits, or which the software cannot re-size (it may struggle if you upload multiple large pictures in one go), will typically generate an “Invalid File” error message."
