Can somone help me get a .gif avatar? I have one i want but its more then 80x80 so i resized it in photoshop but when i use it as avatar it doesnt animate?

Heres the avatar:


Also,when i resize it i saved it as a .gif so idk whats wrong.

I don't think simply naming it .gif will make it one.
I'm not sure how you make .gifs smaller but I'll try and find out, maybe there is a program for it?

Well i've heard photoshop can do it idk though.

And i didnt name it .gif silly. i saved it as a .gif.

Did you try uploading on tinypic as a video ?

Then how will i make i my avatar? but ill try it now

Nope video doesnt work.

As you can see in the code its a .gif file.

What are you using to re-size it?

OP, please don't get offended/regard this as spam but I need this done too. (http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=740177)

Photoshop,just opening it then changing image size.

Try this, see if it will work: http://www.smileygenerator.us/tools/...lite/index.php

Tried it with a different one and got the same thing.

Got one to work!

now to try and get the one i really wanted.

thanks everyone!

Edit: got it with the one i want but its a little pixely.

Again thanks everyone!

What did you use?

I used the smiley generator you posted,saving it as a gif in photoshop ruined it somehow idk.

Saving it as a .gif in photoshop saves it as a still image.

There is a way to keep it animated though.. let me rack my brains.

Cool thanks.

Ah I remember it now. It used to be you could import the .gif into Imageready using the Import Frames to Layers option. They got rid of ImageReady though.

You can try Macromedia Fireworks if the need ever arises.

After you resize the image to what you want. You will need to go to File>Save for Web & Devices, and adjust the settings to your liking there and then save it. This should keep the image animated, atleast it does for me.

I had the same trouble before, and this worked fine.
