I don't remember where I got mine. I was researching something or another and found a site offering free site buttons and mini-banners.
It's a little squished by DAC's av size limit.

My new avatar is me in the wonderful game, Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates. I'm trying to find a better version without the circle thingy around my face.

Edit: Replaced with a more suitable shot.

Mine is Nicholas D. Wolfwood from Trigun :badgrin: . Being that my partner in crime uses Vash The Stampede, this seemed appropriate. Then again I have watched the OAV and I do really like the character, being that at some point in my life I was supposed to become a cleric -don't ask- and now I'm a gun obssesed otaku it seemed a good fit for an alter ego.

I have been trying to find the one picture where he is holding a gun to his head (a la Guardian) while a cigarrette dangles from the side of his mouth.

Open it with good old adobe photoshop, then resize the immage. (you may have to resize the canvas, and then each frame... but I'm not sure)

Nah... That just lets you view/edit the first frame... and if you save it it makes it a stll pic. Same w/ MS photo editor. Anybody know of a program that'll let me edit the motion GIF?

EDIT: even with 7.0... which I *ahem* "Purchased" over the web. :roll: :badgrin:

Second EDIT: Like the new smilies, too!

Please don't abuse the smilies. They're uglier than Deagles.

Ahem... Adobe Photoshop.
You need the "layers" window out, and plus when you save you must "save for web," choose Animated GIF (or just GIF), and then check the box that says "Animate," then you can choose "loop" and change the FPS also.
If you can't get it to work, I can for you.

Ahem.. Box that sayes "animate"? what window?
What does "layers" have to do with it? Is that how it stores the different frames? as layers?
Deepen your intsruction set.

It's...uHm, a banana... Well on second though, that does look a lot like... ANYWAYS, take a guess at mine!

GIF's frames are in Layers in photoshop. You can edit each frame indavidually and browse/select them with the Layers window.

When you want to Animate it, go to File>save for Web.
You should see optimization options among other things. There should be a box named "animate" and also another box appears that says "loop" check both.
You can even preview it in your web browser.

(if you can't get it to work, i can do it for you)

Well I'm dead... Or am I...? After WW3 the toxic chemicals leaked into the chamber Gandhi was sealed in to create...NUCLEAR GANDHI! He now roves the wastes in search of peace and fun, killing all who cross him. (Unfortunately, he's gone nuclear, and he's Gandhi, not a good combination.
