Hello? Are any of the mods listening?

Steve, what size is your gif? Mine's only like 11.X kB, so it should be ok.

Beavis and butthead wanna rawk!

<-------- See the difference?

[Jeepin Jason]

ah, that's the problem... the image size is too big and the forum has to resize it. For an animated avatar to work properly, it has to be both within the pixel size and file size restrictions. If the forum software has to resize the image file, you'll loose the animation.

well fawk, this forum software sucks!

SMF biitches!

Now I gotta break out ImageReady and resize this merf.....

[razorbackME]

whew...got it!

[Steve]
