Just put the animated GIF in your signature file and use the jpg in your profile section and then it will automatically be used as your avitar once avitars are activated again. Upload you animated GIF to a server somewhere or in one of your cache pages and link to it in your signature file and you are all set. http://www.thewavplace.com/animals/donkey.wav Wav file for sound is cool!

+rdw Posted March 24, 2002 Share Posted March 24, 2002 quote:Originally posted by st_richardson: I'm confused. What is the difference between a signature image and the avatar? Can they both be annimated? Avatar images are currently disabled, but when re-enabled they will show up between your user ID and subtitle on the left side of the page. The image is put there automatically by the forum software. They must be in JPEG format for licensing reasons. JPEGs are not capable of animation. Signature images are the images people have in their signature at the bottom of their posts. For example, Hawk-eye's hawk eye, Brownmule's brown mule, or Rich in NEPA's squirrel. These must be entered manually either in the signature code or in each message. These images can be GIF or JPEG. GIFs support animation. rdw Quote Link to comment

+DHobby1 Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 Seeing if my new signature logo is going to work. He is quite a neat little guy. DHobby1, on to the next! Quote Link to comment
RedShoesGirl Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 That little guy is cute. But I am not sure I get how this works yet. When I uploaded a picture of me for the profile I just uploaded onto this site, but where does the signature image live. I saw the html code above but still am confused. Have a design done now to make it work. And I added a signature but it doesn't show up either. Quote Link to comment
+st_richardson Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 There are so many great signatures out there!!! How does one go about designing an animated signature? I have an idea for one (See my previous message requesting help.) but have no clue as to how/where to begin? Do I need any special tools/programs to design it? Thanks in advance for any help!!

Do you need a special program or software? To make an animated gif you need a program that is capable of doing so. I have an old version of Animation Shop that came with Paint Shop Pro. To make the animation I have an image in Paint Shop with a layer for each frame of animation. Then I can copy and paste from Paint Shop to Animation Shop frame by frame and save as an animated gif. Mike I'm not lost! I just don't know where I am. Quote Link to comment

Now I'm in a mixed state of awe of anyone who can make an animation and depression that I will never be able to make a signature. Quote Link to comment
