Bring back the SKIP option for Profile Pictures / Banners.
Hi, so I'm a profile enthusiast on Discord, meaning I like to use animated banners and profile pictures a lot. The way to do it was to press upload, click on the file, then click on SKIP (so no cropping is done from Discord's end), and then click save which allows you to use what you uploaded.
If you press APPLY instead of SKIP, discord crops the gif for you, however the file size increases on Discord's back end, meaning it makes some banners unusable as they become over 10mb. So whatever work you might have done beforehand to optimize the file size is rendered useless. I don't know why this is the case, but this is how it's always been so I've always pressed skip.
The new update has removed the skip option for seemingly no reason, so now you can only press apply. This means you're no longer able to use your animated banners or profile pictures, as you're forced to press apply, meaning that because of the way discord handles this, my banners are now unusable.
One of the main benefits of Nitro for me is the ability to use animated banners / profile pictures, so this being removed is a big deal for me, as it limits what I can use.
I've attached pictures to show what I mean, if you look below, you'll see there's an option to press apply, but skip is no longer there since this newest update. A new rotate button has been added, but skip has been removed.

The second picture attached below is from 2022, you can see the skip button available in the screenshot, but now in that slot it's reset.

I'd like this feature to come back, as I believe this is a mistake. It's worth noting that this only affects people who use lengthy profile gifs or banner gifs, if you have a gif which is short then it won't really affect you.
TL;DR - Skip option being removed means you can't use gifs for profiles or banners that have a decent length, so it should come back as there's no reason to remove it.

Hello!
It sounds like Discord’s latest update has removed the “skip” option during the upload process for animated banners and profile pictures. Previously, this allowed you to bypass Discord’s auto-cropping and maintain your optimized file size, but with only the “apply” option available, your banners are being auto-cropped and enlarged, making them unusable. I’d recommend providing feedback to Discord through their support channels or feedback portal, as this change directly affects a key benefit of Nitro for users like you.
