Hi Mark :)
Just a quick one to say a big thankyou for your advice on posting avatars. I somehow lost mine a couple of weeks ago and don't know why, maybe the hosting page went down or something ( I'm certainly not as clued up on these thingies as you are ) anyway after following your easy steps to reposting I have it sorted now.

How do you get you avatars to move?
Mine was animated on the host website, but its not now that I've put it on my profile. What have I done wrong?

Hi Elaine,

When you saved your avatar to your hard disk drive it appears you used the wrong format. Your avatar is showing as a static picture (PNG) rather than a GIF image, which is usually animated.

If you post the link to the website you found the picture on, I can guide you as to how you get it animated.

Hi,

A JPEG picture should just work fine.

Can you please supply a link to it and I will have a look for you.

Mark,
I would just like to thank you for your 'sticky' regarding Atvars, I followed your instructions to the letter and guess what! My Atvar appeared like magic. I am an older but perserveering computer user, It takes a bit of time for new technology to sink in, but with a good tutor I can get there. My next project is to make the eye blink, I have already done the 5 Gifs required for the blink, but now I am knackered! I don't know what to do next. (P.S. Mrs Tez thinks I am brilliant!)
Tez :wink:

mark.

i'm trying to get a new avator. someone has very kindly done one for me but it is just too big ( 100 whatevers instead of 90!!). i've tried to shrink it as per http://www.gifworks.com but i just can't get that to work for me.

are you able to resize it. please don't change my avator yet as i want to see how small it is first. thanks. this is the link to the new one

Can anyone tell me why my avatar won't work?

Here is the url

http://www.rchrdgrov.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/SMALLAVATAR.JPG

It is within the limits required by this site. 52 x 90 pixels, 14040 bytes.
When I enter the URL in the box and press submit, I get a message telling me the url URL is invalid. Any ideas?
