merry christmas! (and question about icon not animating)

i was trying to help someone with a custom icon - and it seems to meet all the requirements in terms of dimensions and file size, but when i upload it to VN it doesn't appear to be animating.
here is the icon i created:

and here is what is showing up as a VN icon:

does anyone have any suggestions? is there something really basic i'm missing?
thanks in advance for any help, and happy holidays!

Animated icons don't work any more, the uploader compresses them even if they are the right size and that instantly brakes any animation

Hello, I'm the person Garth has been kind enough to help.
Is there any way this can be fixed? I'm assuming IGN adds new animated icons on their own, or for moderators.

I wish they'd kill the rest of the animated icons too. Annoying, they are - even the ones I've made myself.
This is the only exception to the rule:

While we can't add, I can replace a current admin icon with a new one (80x80 and following the old standard rules).
