If you want to incorporate a graphic on a remote server into your posting, you use the [IMG] tag like this: [IMG]http://forums.animesuki.com/picture.php?albumid=115&pictureid=27079[/IMG] which looks like this: Alternatively you can pick the little sunrise-over-mountain icon in the message composer's toolbar.

There's a good tutorial in the very first posting of this thread, and you might want to read the suggestions referenced in this handy thread from Cats: http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=26533 The short answer to your question is that your current avatar has only one layer, so it can't be animated. Either you squashed all the frames together by accident, or you didn't start with a sequence of frames to begin with.

I think you mis-understand my image is already a gif that was already created when I saved it but when I go to put it as my display picture as you have it doesn't move like it should just stays as one frame =_=; I have windows 7 so it automatically opens the gif up in internet explorer but when I open it up in an image viewer it doesnt move which is what I've noticed and dont like with both windows 7 and vista~

I understand what you're asking, but since your avatar has only one frame, it cannot display motion. If you started originally with a multi-layered image but saved it as a single layer, then you need to review how to use your software to save animated gifs and preserve the animation. If you didn't start with multiple layers, then you'll never have motion. Again without some idea about what you're specifically trying to do, and the software you're using to create the gif, we can't give you any more help.

If it shows up normally then it may be an issue of file size.

You opened it with Photoshop CS3? It will show as one frame unless you follow a certain procedure.

That thing is HUGE!
I tried to uploaded directly and ended up with the same avatar as you. Please check the forum limits regarding avatars (100 by 100 pixels - 50.0 KB) and find/make or request one that fits withing said limits.

how to create animated gif and signature
Hi I would like to try creating my own avatar and signature because it seems very interesting and I want to explore my knowledge other than programming. So as a beginner could you recommend me a good software to use and sites for tutorials. Thanks

There are a number of programs that you can utilize to create you own avatars and signatures, some of which boil down to personal preference or experience.
The two programs of which you will most likely hear about the most are; - The GIMP - Adobe Photoshop The GIMP is a freely distributed piece of software whereas Adobe Photoshop is not. Therefore, not being able to link to torrents on this forum, I can only guide you to the GIMP's download page. Although you can download the free Adobe Photoshop CS5 trial here. There are a number of great tutorials here on AnimeSuki that you may want to check out first, as they offer some great start-up tips as well as some medium level tutorials. Check these out here. Other areas you can find some tutorials are on deviantArt by searching for tutorials, or simply on google by searching the same way. As for what program you should use, I'd say whatever you find easiest to use. If you do manage to get hold of both GIMP and Photoshop, try out tutorials for both. Hope this helps JR~ |

I would strongly recommend that you start out using GIMP. Because of the way the GIMP is licensed, it will never become non-free, so you'll be able to use it essentially forever and never pay a dime. If you were going to try and become a professional graphics designer, you'd need to learn the Adobe tools, but there's really nothing in Photoshop you need to create the kinds of avatars and signatures you see here. I've never used anything but the GIMP, and I never will.

Also, if you want to make animated gifs from movie files, you'll need to capture the desired images from your shows. I prefer to use VirtualDubMod for this; in it, it lets you set a start and stop time for frame capture, and from there you can export the image sequence in BMP, TARGA, or PNG format.
