I went to add a gif tonight to my signature in place of the image I have now but I ran into an error about them not being supported and to check back later. It's been this way for near months, is there any news on this?

I think the images now can only be added here: http://subeta.net/preferences.php?act=forum&change=image User Dashboard > Forum Options > Forum Image

Not sure because I didn't tested yet

I knew that. I'm running into errors saying that gifs are unsupported, I was wondering if that had been resolved or could be.

oh, that's bad. Did you already try to put an image in your forumtext instead of the new image device? or are images no longer allowed?
