When I shrink a gif to post it in a "friends' comments" section in someone's profile, it uploads with white and black splotches, and is no longer animated. Any way around this?
As far as I know, there's no need to shrink .gifs or any image in wall posts because images posted on walls are coded to auto-fit to an acceptable size.

I believe there is a 1mb size limit on uploaded images, however, there is no limit if you are linking it from another source.

i.e. not uploading a copy of the image yourself, but using the URL of the image which is hosted elsewhere.

If a gif is too large, it will be shrunk to fit.

The process, turns it into a static image instead, unfortunately.

Your best bet is to keep gifs fairly small, and to test they work after you've shrunk them, before uploading them to our servers.
That totally is what happened to me. My gif is usually much bigger than it has been portrayed on walls.
