Does discourse support gifs? Is there anyway to have a GIF as a profile picture?

Yep, it’s supported. Go to your admin control panel -> Settings tab -> Files section, and then look for the “allow animated avatars” checkbox.

.Gif files as profile pics?

after doing that, do we need to ./launcher rebuild app ?
