Animating your Avatar

[Maverike]

I used WoW MV to make my signature and saved it as a .gif which works fine from the file and such... But when I uploaded it to the site its just a screen shot. Am I doing something wrong here?

Its the way to forum displays the image, it cuts down bandwidth.

[Maverike]

So how do you go about making one like yours that isn't cut down?

Testing what... I'm pretty sure I don't see anything. O well now that this thread has been bumped up, Rudez you wana share how you got yours to work?

[Fishy80]

only contributors get animated avatars... its one of the...bonuses... (contributor/donator... get that status instead of like.. master sergeant or w/e)

Sorry that sentance dosn't make much sense to me Is it contributers or does it depend on rank? And Im pretty positive that this is abosulely incorrect as Ive seen some make there first post with a starwars character humping the air as an avatar (all animated) If you give me a sec I'll find an example. Plus Rudez has been a contributer for quite awhile now and was having the same problem recently.

Edit: Found one look at Sols avatar http://www.mmowned.com/forums/members/sol82.html
I'm not looking to copy and paste a generic one though.

It depends on the size. If your avatar is 200x200 and you try uploading it resizes and the animation doesn't work no more.

Is there a way to resize an animation?
