1. This is a Usergroup setting: Can Upload Animated Avatar

Also if the file being uploaded is larger than the maximum allowed size and the system is resizing it, the animation will be lost.

2. Enable phpinfo in the Admin CP, then provide the URL to your forums. This may help us troubleshoot this problem.

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Server Settings and Optimization Options -> Public phpinfo() Display Enabled

Animated Avatars work as I posted. If it's not working then there is either a problem with that avatar, or you have a modification that is affecting this.

On the error, you have open_basedir restrictions on your server. To get uploads to work you need to create a 'tmp' subdirectory under your main hosting directory and chmod it to 777. Then in the Admin CP set "Upload In Safe Mode?" to 'Yes' and point the "Safe Mode Temp Directory" to that directory. If you placed the tmp directory in the right place, the path to the Safe Mode Temp Directory will be:

/home/don/tmp

Also the php.ini setting for 'upload_tmp_dir' is empty. It's possible you (as root) or your host will need to edit php.ini and set 'upload_tmp_dir' to point to the full path to a directory on the server that is chmod'd to 1777. You will also need to restart Apache after making this change.

I have "Can Upload Animated Avatar" set to "No", and yet registered users are still able to upload animated avatars. How can I prevent the upload of animated avatars?

Hmmm...that really should not be possible with the default vB code. Are you sure these members are not in more than one usergroup?
