This may be a bug, or not?

I have uploaded an avatar (.gif) for use on my new 6.4.2 forum.

The avatar is availble for use for users to use, but my intention was to associate it with a forum.

I suspect this is an option since the last option when creating a forum is: "You may choose to have an image displayed on the main page for this forum."
