How do you do it?

How do you do it?

You need to have an animated GIF that you or someone has created. You can then add that as a picture to your profile.

Thanks Neil! I am sure it will take a bit to get people posting and such. I know it's tough with 2 boards and my intention is not to take anything away from Greg as I don't want any accolades for creating this forum. I just want to make sure if something happens to the other forum we have a solution in place.

Gotta love all the features of this forum. I am starting to look at various plug-ins so things could change in a hurry
;)

Hey! Check this out!!!

You do it in your profile. You can put in any picture. its under your personal profile info on the left side. Then you would select to upload.

I don't recall who did the animation for my avatar - it was probably back in 2000/2001 (wow, almost a decade ago).

Ok, I figured out the avatar but it says it's too big.  The problem is this was done by rebell-jet and I don't believe I have a program to reduce it.  Does anyone know how to reduce it?  I don't even have a copy of the GIF on my computer.

You need a copy of the Gif. You should be able to get it from the other forum just by clicking on it and saving it with your internet browser. You then can upload it here. Better hurry because it might be going away soon.
If you try to link it to the other forum then that is where there is a limit to the size. You don't want to link it because the other forum's data could be gone tonight.

Martin - I am pretty sure it was Paul A. who animated yours.  He was totally obsessed with fire and things melting.

You are probably right.  Any way I have had it for so long it is like a part of me.   ;)

Thanks, it worked but it looks too large as compared to everyone else's so I'll try to reduce it.

Having trouble reducing the size.  When i try to change the dimensions it stops doing a loop.  I'll try to work on it more tomorrow.

Thanks, I tried to download the AVS Editor and it says it's not Mac compatible.  Knowing that you are a Mac dude too do you use that program?  I'm confused how other avatars are sized smaller when they came from the same source as mine.

There is nothing to download. There is an upload button on the main screen and then you upload your image. Then you resize it and then save it back to your computer.
It looks like something went a bit wonky with your conversion, you have some image tearing.

I see yours just fine. I am using firefox though. I will also check to see if it's corrupt with IE or Safari.
Title: Re: Animated Avatar's are now ready!

I changed the size of mine and also changed it to RGB colors. It's a jpg file. Still seeing an X?  Why would I see the avatar and not others?

I just checked with IE and it looks fine. You must also be bringing some good Karma to the group. Your up to 5!  ^-^

Thanks Brad!  When I tried resizing it with the website you mentioned, the dimensions got smaller, but the file size got bigger, and the server wouldn't accept it.  Thought I was going to have to lose the animation.

Save it to your computer - right click on the image and say 'save image'. Then you need to upload it into your profile. Let me know if you get stuck.

OK, done but too big. Can you shrink that moe foe down when you get a chance?  Not too small though.  Just enough so you don't have to drag the bar to see the entire image. Thanks Brad.

There should be a $20 service fee for people that can't follow directions  ;)
I found the best to be about 150 in height. I tried 170 and it got all messed up.

The URL to is:

Hit upload
Hit edit -> resize
Select 150 for height.
Click file
Hit save

Make sure it looks good before hitting save or just hit the redo button and try again with a different size setting.

It does take some time to get caught up.  The moment I think I have gone through every post, more unread pop up.  I can see losing lots of hours here.  But, it is a good thing.  It shows people are active, want to participate and want to focus on friendship and fun.
