Hello Weasyl staff:
I may have discovered a bug with the way Weasyl's main site handles animated GIF files with transparency (ONLY when used in the avatar field - the same image uploaded into the gallery works fine).
So here's the issue: When the avatar image field displays an animated GIF with transparency, sometimes it would get stuck and leave behind "ghost" images.
For example, look at my avatar image here:
https://www.weasyl.com/~bagheera
Notice that right after the panther mounts the centaur, the image starts ghosting?
The same image, uploaded to the gallery, works perfectly fine:

I can of course work around this issue by disabling the GIF's transparency (giving it a black background or something), but I think the transparency looks really awesome with some animated GIF's...
If someone can take a look at this issue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!![]()
