Could use some avatar IMG help

Post by HollyCNY »

You've all seen my avatar, if not it's over there haha ------------------->
:cute

What you might not have seen is that it's supposed to be animated. Here's what it looks like in its original form:

The problem is, it was just a teeny bit too large for the boards to accept it as an avatar. I was able to use a graphics program to re-size it, but that took out the animation component, making it a still image. I'm guessing that's a limitation of the program I used.

Does anyone have the software necessary to re-size the image to acceptable avatar height/width, while still keeping the animation? Please let me know.

It's a bummer we couldn't just tweak the file size limit of avatars a bit. Would be so much easier. :)

this one has a solid black back ground, both are 200width so they should fit the size constraints needed for avatar

Please don't start using animated forum avatars.

Didn't Pulgrey always have an animated one on the old boards? Can't specifically recall his name... people called him "Pug" I think though. Played EQ for EVER, lol.
