I got this : You may not upload animated images.
Yes.
Because you may not. In fact, Mac may decide that your animated sig file is a little on the large size.
Animated gifs are problems for at least two reasons:
1. They flicker and annoy many members; especially members with seizure issues.
2. They consume local resources at the users end; if the user is on an older computer and/or dialup, this can slow things down for them because of the way older browsers work.

they remind me of adverts, really.WWW is full of it. I guess it doesn't stop you browsing.
And the frame rate can be reduced so it is more pleasing on eyes.
Is only flashing annoying you or there is something else? I'd like to know it for my personal work with animations.

sorry
Hang in there... you'll likely go through a lot of different signatures and avatars during your time here... welcome to AW, btw.
1 Flickers can be smoothed out. I cant believe someone gets a seizure from an animated gif
2 No one uses a dial up connections anymore
And for my avatar I just want to animate my nickname by the series of slow moving words - I pride myself on using arts - I shouldn't suffer
