Those profiles have had the animated gifs before the security flaw was found. Animated images are unavailable because of the aforementioned problem.The only reason you might see any animated avatars is because they haven't changed it since - and personally, I wouldn't if I had the chance to keep a relic of the past

Hmm, sad that it's not possible anymore.

Is it a risk for forum security to have gifs as avatars?

Took almost no time to search "gif" in the Meta subforum.

Theymos's addressing about JavaScript inserts.

The forum is now on a new server inside of a virtual machine with many extra security precautions which will hopefully provide some security in depth in case there are more exploits or backdoors. Also, I have disabled much SMF functionality to provide less attack surface. In particular, non-default themes are disabled for now.

A backdoor was implemented back in 2011.

Ok, thank you.

Maybe someday it will be possible again... I hope so.
