 Topic: .gif's?
Posted: June 15 2009 at 17:02 |
|
Is there a way I can use an animated .gif for my forum signature or profile pic? I've tried, but failed.

There's no big difference. You just have to copy an animated gif.'s location in the avatar or signature box, just like you normally do using a plain pic. How exactly did you failed?

No - it can't be done. 
Honest. 
okay - it can, but I hate them so if I was King of the World I'd invent a system that automatically deleted the user ID of anyone who used one as an avatar or in a sig-file.

Very few people know this, but my avatar is actually an animated .gif of a wombat that doesn't move.

Do you upload your gifs to photobucket or something first?
