Can someone tell me why, when i try to change my avatar i load an animated gif from my pc but when i save it, it says not valid gif. What do i have to do?
 
Janet can you up-load it in an attachment here so that we can take a look at it.
 
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.

Cheers Len, i did save the image to my pc from the site, but could not get it to work when i tried to change the avatar. I'm now a happy bunny.
 
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)
 
Janet you been pegging out a puppy?:)
I'm not very good at pc stuff and when I came on Accy web i tried to put my Barny av on but I could'nt,so thats why you've got Sylvester instead!:D

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.
 
I have this image and want to add it as my siggy but it won't do it

Why won't it do it? What reason does it give you?

Sorry Willow wrong choice of words on my part, it's not that it won't let me, I don't know how to do it :(

I have it saved in my PC and don't know how to upload it!
 
Oh well there's an easy answer to that. If you go back to where you posted it in this thread and get the URL (higlight and copy it) then go into "edit signature" in your UserCP. Click on the pic of a mountain to insert an image in your sig then paste the URL in the window that pops up. (eliminating the http:// bit already there because you'll have that in your URL that you copied.)
 
Oh I really am quite numb :( when it comes to things like that. I can't find the URL all I can find is that it says tinkerbellblinkie.gif and it's having none of that. I think I will have to admit defeat, I've tried a few different things to get it on, all to no avail!!
