Hi everyone,
My avatar is supposed to have animation (eyes light up and mouth opens) and for some reson doesnt. I uploaded it from my computer. The file size is 15.4Kb. Any thoughts? Also if anyone is intrested in making me a sig I'd greatly appreciate it. (I'm great at CAD but stink at graphics) My avatar is from a metal band (Overkill) http://wreckingcrew.com/crew/ The lead singers nickname is Blitz which I adopted for football forums and it seems to work out as well in WW2 games for obvius reasons. Thanks in advance. Blitz |

Blitz, I believe your problem is caused by the avatar size restriction of these boards, which is 80x80 pixels.
When you upload an avatar and its bigger than the max value, the board software automaticly resizes it, and when it does you loose the animation. You have to use a special resizing program to accomplish this. Google (free GIF resizing), you should find an online application to do the job without downloading anything. Just make sure you make the avatar 80x80. It will resize the GIF to the proper dimensions without loosing the animation. Any problems let me know. "Also if anyone is intrested in making me a sig I'd greatly appreciate it. (I'm great at CAD but stink at graphics)" I also suck at graphics, but I don't let that stop me.  One sig comming up! To be continued at a later date. This post has been edited by MyWifesMule: 03/24/07 12:42pm --------------------   |

Blitz,
You can put in a direct link to that avatar you are trying to have animated. It should show animated. If it does not you can pm me for my email address, and send it to me and I'll shrink it for you. Here is a go on a sig for you. I went to that site and got this picture. If you can tell me a song of theirs you like, I can add music to this sig for you.
