Using animated avatars

Hello everybody,

im new to buddypress, trying to find my way around right now and stumbled over a problem for which I could not find a easy/plugin-based solution so far.

I want my users to be able to use animated GIFs as their avatars, but as far as I can see it, the GIF animation gets broken due to the resizing of the avatar.
Since animated GIfs as avatars isnt really a “new” thing on the internet, I assume there already must be a solution to this?

I am thankful for any hints on this!

I cannot find a solution and it seems strange that BP forces a crop on *any* size image.

If image is already 150×150 (or whatever) then why force crop?

So if anyone can find a hack to disable the forced cropping or add a “Skip crop”, that’s what we need.
