.Gif Avys
« on: November 09, 2008, 01:23:58 PM »
Alright. This is really starting to frustrate me and I'm hoping someone can maybe help me out a little bit with this because I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I found some neat moving avys, but each time I go to use it, it won't move. Um...when I'm editing my profile, it shows it moving until I save the changes and then it becomes a still shot. I'm jealous of the moving avys and I want my own. What the flippin' A am I doing wrong?

(Maybe I should ask...is my avy moving right now?)

Make sure you're saving it as a .gif.  The avy you have up right now is a .png, so it's not moving.  Only gifs can be animated.

EDIT: Never mind; after my post went up, your avy changed, and now it is an animated gif LOL.  So did you figure it out?

The first one I had up said it was a .gif so that's why I couldn't understand why it wasn't moving.
