Probably a supporting member benefit.

What I wanna know is this: what's wrong with your current av? It looks good to me.

A definite agreement here!

Try it now. New software had a setting for animated avatars, was turned off on everyone it seems.

A supporting membership lets you use a larger one, as well as setting up a profile pic (and other things too).

ah...I stand corrected; but, still, why change it?
