Are they allowed now, because I am starting to see people using them?

Okay come on. Got 110 views, yet none of those are from people that can answer this question?

@AmazonTreeBoa:

Lark made this comment about Forum signatures a while back when the redesign was made public...

"These aren't being removed, but they will certainly be changing (for the better):

  • A maximum of 500 characters will be allowed
  • A maximum of one image with a height up to 125px tall will be allowed
  • Animated GIFs will no longer be allowed--if one is specified, only the first frame will be displayed

Lastly, everyone will also be able to choose whether or not they see signatures while browsing the forums."

So apparently, animated gifs are verboten... whether or not they are functioning is another question.

Sorry for the late reply. Animated signatures are no longer allowed on GameSpot.

Well, as the OP pointed out, there's plenty out there still using 'em...

  • Animated GIFs will no longer be allowed--if one is specified, only the first frame will be displayed

The alleged functionality restriction does not appear to be in effect.
