I was on a site before i came here that allowed a gif as profile pic.

I suppose there are different reasons some use a Gif, but I like it when I can see who I'm "talking" to. To each his own I guess, but since you asked, I like pictures.

If you take a screen shot of it sure - can’t be animated

It only uses the first frame on profiles. So no animation.

I’ve put a cartoon effect on one of mine

I wish

Yes. Gif yes
I'll use this one

That would be resource intensive. I don't think they'll do it.
They already compress the images people upload here to the smallest size possible.

GIFs would be freaky here as pfp. You need the right settings for it tho.

Selfies, yes. Gifs, I believe too, though they're only animated when opening the full version from your profile page.

The concept is possible. They should add it if they can for a change.

I don’t think so. I think it’s just pics. Gifs would be much more fun 😊

Modern technology lets you do anything

No gifs, but selfies are okay...

Pictures is my preference🙂

That would be cool 😎

yes and yes

I would use this

This site would slow down to a crawl if they did that

Not animated ones. I been pushing for it since forever

You’re pic is lovely
