I have an animation that is a .gif file that i want to use as my avatar but its 30kb.  is there anyway of making it smaller?  if anyone has the technology and the know how and wanted to do it for me i would be more than willing to exchange beer for goods and services rendered but you'd have to come to Leicester to get it  :narnar:  (This offer is not open to Zok, Brass or Waster.  Zok knows how hard it is to get a round out of me  :D  :lmfao: )

And secondly i wanted to put a piccy in my signature but guess what?  i dunno how :nevermind: .  I have an idea but i'm not 100% so a quick tutorial would be much appreciated  :thumbsup:  

Cheers and keep the scene alive :dmw:

The piccie in your sig is easy. Just refer to it using IMG tags.  here is my sig:

HTH?

You need to get an animation editor that allows you to see the individual GIFs that make up the animation. Then you can edit. Here is a starting point: Animated GIF Editors and Info (http://www2.umist.ac.uk/isd/lwt/apt/ptoolkit/mmtools/)

HTH = Hope This Helps? :D

You can upload an image to your personal webspace with your ISP and then refer to it from here if you want. (that's all I do)

BB sorry mate you're wasting your energy on this one, maybe if you could draw some images with crayons and explain in single syllable words he may get it, but I doubt it.

Send me your image and I’ll post it for you.

You think I'm ready to have a go at single syllable words AND comprehend the message conveyed in images? I don't know what to say.........Thanks!?!  Things could get a bit complicated, convoluted and problematical (good use of a thesaurus hey? :narnar: )

Cool, i've not actually decided on an image yet but will hold you to that when i decide.
