Hooray, I can see your avatar at last!
I prefer the moving one mind - I am just too fussy - I know.

It was a moving one but when I copied and pasted the URL it ened up static. Got any tips on how to get it to move? I'm still picking.


You can see I'm currently on a locomotive.

Try changing it on the blue. If that doesn't work, post back and I will suggest something else.
You avatar is visible on the blue now.:T

Ok, sorry for delay, just been having my tea. I've just done as you described but it is still static looking to me.


The one in your reply is moving.

Well, that is because it is static. You will need to reduce the moving one to 80x80 pixels.

Just tried that for you and it went static.
I'll bring some help here.

Help will come.
I don't understand, the image you have chosen is 14.6 KB. It says that you can choose a custom avatar up to 32KB.
Even this one is only 32KB

There are some limitations with moving Avatars, such as file type (.gif), file size (as above) and image size (as above).

I'd also suggest using the gifs as supplied, and not trying to resize them, if you want them to remain animated.

Personally, I think the method of entering a URL for the gif is more reliable than referencing it from the desktop, but that could just be my imagination.

My flag comes from here:- http://www.fg-a.com/flags4.shtml



Oooh flags...

Thanks Cornucopia, I copied and pasted the URL link in to my Avatar page. It was a moving image but as you can see at the moment it's static. http://www.animatedimages.org/data/media/1326/animated-locomotive-image-0007.gif
This loco should be chuffing. Maybe the servers will catch up over night.
