Would someone be able to enlighten me as to how to make your moving avatar move? I found one, I saved to my hard drive.. but it is still. How do you make it move?

Thanks

Haha! If it is saved as a gif or bmp or jpg.. it wouldn't move, right? So.. how do you save it to keep its motion?

No problem - actually, it is an element that is "built into" the image. If it is not animated when you downloaded it - there is nothing you can do to animate it. Unless you were a designer.

If you want an animated avatar - just search Google for animated avatars

You're making me dizzy, Lawrence. (I mean more so than usual)

It must be an avatar that is 80x80 pixels (and no more than 19.5kbytes). You can use an avatar that is larger, and it will automatically be resized when you add it as your avatar, but in the resizing process the animation is lost. It must be 80x80 to begin with. I'm not sure if one that is, say, 50x50, will work because it will probably get resized, too. But if you start out with an 80x80 animated gif, it'll work.
