BTW, .DC2 files from the custom emoticons folder are able to be changed to .gif files, so it is possible.
Some of those files are already in gif format, there is nothing to change, format wise. The only thing he could have changed is the filename.
Also, the fact that 99% of people who come with this very same problem or who say they "changed" the file do mean renaming.
And, if he realy used a converter he wouldn't have said what he said, he would have said he used a converter and not just changing/renaming the file.

It doesn't matter if the converter supports animations or not because a png is a static image.

That is completely not what he is asking for.
(And using adobe fireworks is realy not a best choice for a converter. In fact, again, what do you want to convert in the first place? The animated emoticons are _already_ gif files, there is absolutely nothing to convert to begin with.)
