Title: Your Assistance is Required
Post by: Happy1 on February 15, 2012, 06:47:40 PM

Greetings every1 :)

I'm in dire need of ur help in teaching me as to how I can have my Avatar(multiple)
show all the other avatars within it?  I searched the net, our bbs without any success.

Would some one kind enough help me out of this dilemma?  Thanking you for your courtesies & assistance.

  :cheers:

P.S. Avatar in question is my Superman avatar.

I don't make them, but what you're looking for is an animated .gif file.

What you need is a paint program, whatever is free can work fine. Set the size of the photo to match the size of the Avatar to be uploaded.

Its basically like a movie - instead its photos, very easy to make and takes very little time to do.

How would I go about saving one to my HDD, and then viewing the movement?

Gentlemen:  Thx much for ur kind assistance I followed ur advice & after downloading
the Superman animated GIF, I opened "Paint" adjusted the dimensions from 132px &
148px to the allowed 80px by 80px, saved the new dimensions & avatar.

Loaded the avatar to my profile, but am unable to have the avatar show the multiple
pictures within, btw, the size is 56.82.  I seem to be missing some steps to have the
avatar open up.   Your suggestions are sincerely encouraged.  TY.

P.S.

The addy of this avatar is: http://www.criticallayouts.com

I think the file size.has to be under 55. That may be your problem.

Gentlemen  :)

My apologies  :o thx to "The Fugitive" I noticed my error in the misplacement of the decimal point in listing the size as 57.82 when, in fact, the real size is "5.78".   I still
have NO idea as to HOW to open my avatar showing multiple pix. :frown:

<--- Here you go, right click --> save as.  Grab it quick and let me know so I can switch it back to my David Wales flag.

Bravo Tec for ur kindest assistance, the avatar is EXACTLY the way I needed it, you
helped me to realize my aspirations  :aok

I followed ur advice right clicked on the avatar provided, saved it to my pictures file,
went back to AHBBS profiles, changed the avatar & much to my chagrin, the avatar
didn't change at all  :uhoh!

Tried reloading the new avatar several times with negative results, could you clear this
up for me pls?  TY
