Animated avatar
Strontium Dog - 27/6/11 at 12:05 PM

Hi, can any one tell me how to get the link at the bottom of my post to actually show as the animation it is, or even better as my avatar. If I could get it as my avatar, then Bart might stop waving his cheeks at you all. (For a while any way!)

Cheers Si.

Needs to be saved as an animated GIF not an MP* file.

a 3minute gif is going to be massive! Do you really want that in your signature?

More to the point what about everyone else's bandwidth and loading time.

Loading times are important to those of us who surf from our mobiles

don't know what you mean

Personally I find animated Avatars distracting and annoying - there really is no need for them.

This is why I asked as I didn't know if there was a way of doing it without it being a problem for any one! Personally I like the odd animated avatar, especially if it adds a little lightheartedness to things!


Obviously Mookaloid is trying to bring down the entire interweb

Thats a good point, Im sure I got a PM from admin once telling me my avatar was about 50pixels too tall, Mangos is about 500 bigger than the one I had!

They are only a few kb each and I like to think I'm brightening up the site a little

You are . I've been meaning to ask you who she is, for, er, research purposes.

Same for Mr Wadders avatar, who, disapointingly, doesn't get dressed any more
