Hello all,

I wanted to make an animated avatar. So I found the intro video of one of my favorite games (Tekken5). I used MGI Vdeowave 5 (very old school, but super easy program to edit with). After I produced my new avi, I used Amazing Photo Editor to convert it to an animated gif. It looks great, but when I uploaded it, as you can see, it's not animated. Can someone help me out?

Also, I read the rules before making it and tried painstakingly to get the size under 512k. But then I noticed a lot of other ones are almost double that size. Can I also make mine larger? How large can I make it? It would be nice since I had to keep cutting little snipets from the movie and reducing the transition effect and quality of the avi to about 60%.

Thanks in advance,

black

Well, if you can link to the file you created it'd be good.. it might just be a display problem... but it says that your file is only around 5KB, that is way to small for it to be an animated avatar.
Upload your gif to somewhere like imageshack and then someone might be able to do something with it for you.

And the reason some of the avatars you've seen are almost double the size is because they'd be staff ones I should think.

Here is the link on imageshack. It works on my pc and also on imageshack. I even changed the avatar link to the imageshack url instead of from my pc. Still not working :sad:

I also noticed that when I r-click on my avatar and "save image as" it is saying that it is a jpg.

Nevermind...it's working now! I guess it doesn't update older posts :-)

Ok, done it for you

Hey paddymail, Sorry to bother you, but whatever you did, can you do it again? I edited the image a bit (I'm very picky) and didn't realize that the same thing would happen. Here is the new link from imageshack:
