Avatars
 

Can we have animated gifs and if so how do i make it work?

Not at my end it isnt!!!

Working here, and very nice it is too

Rockhop,you might have to delete some of your temp internet files/cookies to see it your end.Had the same problem myself,everyone else could see it bar me!

Yep! Can even see the bits of metal flaking..!

That`s probably the best avatar on the site IMHO :cool:


Hmmmmmmmmm :eureka: That sounds like a challenge for somebody.............

....beg to differ...!

i had the same problem too with my supposed intimdimating avatar, i couldnt see it but everybody else could luckily for them

Wehey, its started working!!

Hmm......ok the best bike related avatar;)

Brilliant Ive lost my Avatar alltogether :puzzled::puzzled:

Rockhopper.....cool mate ;)

How do you get these animations to load then ???

Its an animated gif, you need something like Paintshop Pro animation shop to create it. Or even better just nick it off another web site!

where `s murray mints avatar ? now that was good !!! ;)

yeh - mines stoooopid !! a bity old now though!!!

I tell you what, Albie, I love that picture of you in front of the large photo at the museum. That is an absolutely classic photograph. It speaks volumes.

Gets my vote for best Avatar for ... 22.38 Sunday 6th February 2005 ... without question.

Obviously, I'm fickle. I might change my mind! :devil::devil:

Don't get too carried away with animated GIFs - remember there are still a number of website users who are not on broadband and an animated GIF file of 89K takes a while to download compared to a static GIF of 2K (Rattler and Uncle Porry - just used as an example :) ).

In the past we have tried to monitor and keep avatars below 20K, if we get many complaints about download speed, we may be sending round a few U2U requests!

Eamonn.

Mmmmmm...I have to say when I first joined, my animated gif was requested to be removed which I duly did.
I only have one now because EVERY one seems to have one!!!:P
Not that I am in any way bitter....;)

If anyone is having a download problem then let me know and i'll gladly remove it (the avatar that is..)
