That is the information I need! Thank you! I don't know where people like yourselves would use them, or what file or pixel sizes you would need, so that I can properly make them.

Any others places you use them?

I'm going to make a variety of characters and scenes, but wasn't sure about other things, like sizes.
I don't really use animated GIFs myself, and I only found out the LJ limit because I wanted to use some Ri Majon ones that were way too big. Some of yours look pretty close to file size and if you were to remove some of the frames, it might make them small enough. I tried an image site online with the ones I mentioned above and it allowed me to remove every second frame with it still looking decent.

I suppose what you would need would be an idea of limits on various other forum sites or journal sites where avatars and icons are currently used, at least the ones that allow 100x100
