Well, you've managed to prove that AB doesn't recognise user-generated HTML, Hc4361. So, no, you can't sneak an animated avatar onto here!

Simple links do, of course, work:

Oooh, that's pretty!

[sara3]

well that's 8 seconds of my life that I'll never get back!

I just wanted to see if Smiley Xtra worked in here as it should - show the smiley and not the http.
It doesn't :(

We'll get there eventually:

Why doesn't this work then?

[hc4361]

The link does work, Chuck.
But it shouldn't be a link, it should be the animated gif.

[Buenchico]

The problem was due to a space between the '1' and the '7' in the URL.

AB doesn't accept HTML tags, so putting [img] [/img] isn't going to work.

[Buenchico]

AB used to accept a very small amount of user-generated HTML, Hc4361, (permitting members to use such things as bold, italic and underlined text) but the AB techies have removed even that limited facility.

[hc4361]

I remember that!

In the good ol' days we could even format the text size and colour.

Gosh, Trimmy. That's an acronym I haven't seen in a loooooong time. ;-)
