Anybody tell me please
 

I have changed my avatar to a gif expecting the graphic to move had no joy.
What am I doing wrong?

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

Best and easiest thing is to go to your profile, there click on posts.

Then read through them, I think you'll find mainly though that you are being obnoxious.

Thanks Less... meantime the Geese and Peacocks are going hungry since your shenangans down the bottom of your street... oops thread wander.....

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

I think it uploads and converts to whatever format(or something like that) other than gif. Most sites I've seen that show animating gifs have the streaming/embedded avatars

Ask Cashman, he has managed to get one.

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

mmm g... the pithy Mr C is missing off the radar currently, I hope all is well with him. :(
Neil has an animated avatar that is quite good too

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

A simple search of the site comes up with this what a surprise

Can never find the "how to" when i look for it.
A search for "how to" gives this message -
The following words are either very common, too long, or too short and were not included in your search : how, to

Bookmarked it now.:)

Thanks nonetheless.

Forum etiquette demands you always search before creating a new thread

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

That is a good thread but don't think it answers his problem though.

Try posting the animated gif into a post and see if it works.
It could be something to do with the size of the gif being resized by the forum software stopping it working. Animated gifs are like little movies and probably wont resize correctly

Forum etiquette Rob ??

You are having a girraffe surely ? :) The unedifying posts currently atop this forum would suggest the naughty stick needs to be brung in for some if not all. :)

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

Would you like to email me your gif and I will have a look at it for you?
Mine has been working for years but it's that long ago I can't remember if I had to do anything to make it work

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

:) pm'd you Neil Thanks

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

It's to big and the forum must be resizing it and making a mess of it with it being animated.

When you upload an avatar is says

Yours is 282KB and 480 x 320 pixels.

This website can resize it for you Online GIF Resizer - Resize Animated GIF Image

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

Thanks Neil.. I owe you a beer or three.

Now that we can see the problomatic article you are attempting to use as an Avatar.
Some clues are quite apparent, the main one being that this is an overblown copy of the original, hence the grainy effect.
If you do some further googling you may come across the original and have no need to re-size it.

Cashy's Avatar was put in place for him by Mick, he does that sort of thing willingly for his friends.:)

If memory serves correctly, it has already been used by a member for a couple of months, it may have been Accyman though I cannot be certain, I'm sure he will correct me if I'm wrong.

I would offer further assistance with your problematic endevours but, I can't really see me having a Christian attitude and turning the other cheek to help someone with your obvious hostilities towards myself and other members of the site.
Good luck with it, stick to it, the learning curve is there, all you have to do is jump on board for the ride and you will have your dream come true.
:p

You used to keep the cat in a box, walking backwards and forwards;)

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

Welcome to Gods country Cashy:D

Re: Anybody tell me please
 

Welcome back Mr C...good to see you are back on line....:D

The avatar business got an airing with Mick the Mod and the Wizz when I called int' Railway last Sat (see Today I met an Accy Webber). They were falling over themselves to help (think it was that and not the drink?)

I am off to the US to see my lad n family for Thanksgiving Friday,when I am back and subject to Less giving me advance notice the ale is in drinkable condition I'll drop down to the pub and see you ;) one afternoon.
