CURRENT STATUSWell, I figured out a way around it, but technically the problem still exists... maybe it's just a Firefox + SMF issue? (doesn't happen on here in Opera or on other forums in Firefox) So I'll rename the topic appropriately in case someone else has this issue in the future.
HA! I FIGURED A WAY AROUND IT!. Have it loop, but only twice with the 2nd frame at 99999ms. That way when it jumps back to the first frame, the animation isn't actually complete and will continue animating to the 2nd frame as normal! daaaaa Naaaaa NAAAAA NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

OLD ISSUESIt seems that my APNG avatar is up to its old habits again, even though I've upload it directly to ZFGC. It can't be going back to the first frame from resizing since there IS no resizing... I don't know if this is just a fluke that's only occurring to me or what but just like before, it's only happening here. -_- *sigh...*
----------------------------------------------
I can officially say that the resizing of avatars is making my avatar jump back to it's first frame and freeze in Firefox 3 (my avatar is supposed to animate only once). This did NOT happen when my avatar was not resizing. It's the second problem all over again!
----------------------------------------------
My APNG avatar is stretching to 150 x 150 again (it's natively 100 x 100) in Firefox 3.0.1, Opera 9.51, and even IE7.
----------------------------------------------
UPDATE: It seems that the stretching is gone, but now the 1st frame of my avatar's animation is stuck being visible or something. (my avatar has 2 frames)
It looks like the resizing from 150x150 to the intended size makes my avatar jump back to the 1st frame. Any ideas?
EDIT 2: I'll be updating this post with quotes and info from my other posts to keep things in one place.
Well, it seems like sometimes doing things will "coax" it to switch back. (like switching tabs or scrolling down to make the image go off the screen and then scrolling back up)
Maybe it's a bug in Firefox? I don't seem to get the problem on other forums though...
EDIT: Yeah, on DCEmu it doesn't happen.

EDIT 2: I just tested it in Opera 9.5 and this problem does not exist.
EDIT 3: it seems that SOMETIMES (though rarely) my avatar will animate correctly after I make a new post or edit an existing one.
EDIT 4: oookaaaaay... now it animates and renders properly about half the time independent of what I do. (though it's probably just random and I'm getting lucky)
I'm getting a rendering defect that ONLY happens on ZFGC. Seems like a forum issue to me.

EDIT #n (no idea, lost count):
Looks like this doesn't happen anymore, probably either from the site overhaul or the Firefox 3.0.1 update, but I'm having the issue with my avatar being stretched to 150 x 150 again... (it's natively 100 x 100)
