avatar question

[vinzclortho]

I have an animated .gif I'd like to use as an avatar. I got it from a buddy in an email. How can I use this as an avatar?? If I copy/paste or save it to desktop or whatever, the animation doesn't work and it's a still image. I can't upload it to TGR because it's not saved on my pc and I don't know the source...ideas?

Made it myself. Save the email attachment to a file then open it.

I know ya prick.

That was actually one of my first thoughts "sure I can use an animated gif....basom has one."

Technically the avatar is not moving, the little monsters are moving.

Just thought I'd clear that up.

Why don't you just do it and see what happens.

it doesn't give me the option to upload from an email and if I save it to desktop it stops being animanated.

Thanks for clearing that up Ice.....see...it's a circle, but it also goes up and down.

Oddly enough Phunk, the gif is Peter Griffin after he falls down running home from finding the last golden ticket in his Pawtuckett Patriot ale. Really makes me want to drink at a place called "The Drunken Clam"....

What the deuce!?

Try one of the Family Guy sights. I think they already have that avitar up and ready to be used. Which site I have no idea, do the little searchy thing.

[snowsprite]

Email it to me and I will re-size it for you in Imageready. Then it should work.

It's a trick comment -- the gif's not animated because the desktop doesn't animate gifs.

Snow Dog may not know shit about databases [], but he's right this time.

He's also right about "just trying it." Just experiment with it.

The gif is still animated, but not all image viewing applications can display the animation in animated gifs (they'll just show the first frame.)

PS. Family Guy is laugh-so-hard-I-almost-choked-on-my-own-vomit-funny. Seriously. When are the new episodes coming out?

[Peter riding a circus elephant]
Peter Griffin: Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who is threatened by change.



Meg Griffin: You could kill all the girls who are prettier than me.
Death: Well that would just leave England.



Peter Griffin: I'm looking for some toilet training books.
Salesman: We have the popular 'everybody poops", or the less popular 'nobody poops but you'.
Peter Griffin: Well, you see, we're catholic...
Salesman: Ah, then you'll want 'you're a naughty, naughty boy, and that's concentrated evil coming out the back of you'.

that's the one doug...but I have a new one now....we'll see if snowsprite can pull this off...or if she wants to...

[snowsprite]

Looks like it's working (doug put it on his).

If anyone ever wants an animated one sized though you can just PM me. I have Imageready and can size those easily.

[DougW]

thought so. I 'tried to use it but it was too big so when I reduced in size lost the movement. So mine is the same sans movement.

[snowsprite]

Oh wait...Doug's is not moving. Vinz, what's your email addy and I will send you the moving Gif.

Edit: Doh! Never mind Vinz...that one will work (it's 98x100)
