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.

Any chance someone would use their imagination and animate this one for me?

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.

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.

Martin said he sees a red x where my avatar is. I see the Old School box. Is there any problem for anyone else in seeing it?

I see yours just fine. I am using firefox though. I will also check to see if it's corrupt with IE or Safari.

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?
