Animated avatar

It's too bad we can't use animated avatars
- although I totally understand all the reasons not to!

Did these, anybody is welcome to use them elsewhere.
Cheers

Had a PM'd query -
To save the gif, put your cursor on it and right click, then save to pictures.
You might have to open that file with your browser to view it animated.

cheers

thanx InVision,
Shot video using a USB digital microscope, converted file to .flv then did frame capture using Koolmoves. Lastly, did the .gif using EasyGif.

I'm pretty sure that we can. But I beleive that privilege is for Pledge Members.

Case in point..InVision up above my post.

Mike, I accept your challenge - no obligations or payment required.
Little busy now so don't hold your breath.

One thing I'll need from you or someone with animated avatar privileges...
please go to your CP avatar control and advise me the max file size?

cheers

Thanx Tim.

InVision confirms that an animated avatar is a perk for pledge members but that it is limited to 150 x 150 pixels, and 48kb... which makes for pretty limited animation.

For the PM query... I used EasyGif for the animation after doing frame captures from QuickTime Pro.

I did this one for guess who, but its way too big KB to use for the avatar.
