(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I just came across a channel that had a .gif or any other image of that sort as his display picture. I thought it was a new update so i tried, and it didnt work. is this a hack or is there a way to do it?

heres the YouTube channel, also check who he's subbed to and his sub box : You must login or register to view this content.

I know that before you used to be able to do it, now you cant. Unless you already had GIF as your avatar before the rule changed and you didnt change your avatar :p

SO it seem like you are out of luck Happy Sorry =D

There is no possible way. JPG does NOT support animation. All that is, is a bunch of JPG's, and some java script knowledge to play individual JPG's to create an animation like GIF.
