Re: Help

You can either save this image to you pc by right clicking and selecting “Save image as”
Or just enter the url address into the box in your “edit avatar” section.

Re: Help

I know there's an actual solution to Janet's original problem of the gif downloading to her PC as a bmp but I don't know the explanation.

I know this has solved it by getting round it another way but if when you try to save a gif it only saves one of the frames as a bmp it's because your PC is bunged up and needs unbunging.

Can one of you techy bods explain properly how that is done? I know how to make sure mine will do it OK but I don't know how to explain it to someone else. (about not compressing graphics and stuff like that as well as making sure you regularly clear the cache thingy)

Sorry willow it’s above my head.. I simply right click on an animated gif and “Save image As…” it seems to work every time for me. Maybe some one else can explain.
