    Hi Marianna,

    I also took them out in my most recent attempt. However, instead of saving the pic as a continuous animation, I had it stop after one loop. However, beetlejuice can use whatever he wants. :D I was having fun playing!

    i should not interfere; marti and Marianna did such a great job...tucks cookies in both their napsacks...but my curiosity got the best of me, and i wanted to see what bad frames they were talking about. i took the one that LWM resized, but i couldn't see any bad frames? But since i had Animationshop up, LOL..i thought i'd play with it too. So i slowed it down a bit...made the background transparent and sharpened him up a bit, and gave him a few new bugz.

    i love Beetlejuice! (i still have the doll) ROFL.

    No credit to me. Spydespiser found it, LWM, Marti, Marianna, and Snapdragon tweaked it for me. :D :D :D
    :eek: Oh, sorry LWM, I think I forgot to feed you. I guess I've got CRS. :rolleyes:

    Hi Beetlejuice :D

    Maybe snapdragin can get your avatar smaller ?? It should be 6 Kb - I can only get it to 9 kb :'(

    Nope..i can't :( Well.....i can get it down to 16kb without too much quality loss by reducing the colours to 63, but any lower than that it starts to get awfully grainy.

    i had kept all 8 frames from LWM's post, then added an extra frame at the end so Opera users won't see that weird rendering thing Opera loves to do when viewing animation, plus that extra frame at the end adds that bit more time before the head begins to do it's famous spin...LOL So, with the extra frame added, the slower speed, and keeping it at 256 colours; adds to the overall size of the animation (19kb). But it's still under the 20kb limit, barely though. LOL

    I saw a gif image I would love as my Avatar but I haven't the slightest idea how to go about it.

    Apart from that I can't even remember where I saw it.

    It was a lttle American Indian sending up a smoke signal with a blanket.

    Anyone ever seen it in their travels?

    regards, Cochise. :cool:

    :D Hi Chochise. Spydespiser might be able to help you. He found mine. As far as fixing it up, Marti, Marianna, and Snapdragon are the experts. :D :D :D :cool:

    Hi guys

    I had a little look just after cochise's initial posting but all the porn sites have put "gif" and other key words in there write up so it was taking a while filtering them but i will keep my eyes open :)

    SpyD :D

    Hi Blaze!


    It was a kinda self-portrait I made when my hair was red but now because of the summer it became lighter (more blonde). Still have the same eyes though. ;)

    I quickly chose one from the profile panel.

    I will change it once I find a unique one that I like.

    I've found the little Indian Brave with smoke signal at last......I found it on Google at "Daves Avatar Page 3".

    So would some knowledgeable kind person show me how to get 'Him' on my Posts as an Avatar please.

    Cochise, :cool:

    :D Hi Cochise. Glad you found your avatar. You'll need to open your "Profile" (button on top of any page here. Up by where it says Wilders.org.)
    Scroll down to a section that says (1.) "I have my own pic." There you will see a browse button. Push it and select where you have stored your avatar, I.E C:windows\My Pictures, (if it's stored on your machine).
    If it's not stored on your machine, go to the site that has it. Right click it. Select Save As. Pick directory of your choice, and save it there. Then come back to your profile page and do step 1. Then scroll to bottom of profile page and click the "save changes" button.
    Hope this has helped.
    PS. Almost forgot Avatars can only by 60x60 pixals in size and no bigger than 20Kb.

    If that is the one (thanks Marianna), it probably could be adjusted by one of the pros to look a little better at 60x60 pixels. But, take a look at how it is right now and see what you think.
