Cool site but tripod sux since they have limited bandwidth or whatever it's called. The site went down after I viewed 6 images

Damn, the Sentinels one was too big!

Do you have software like Adobe Photoshop to make it smaller? That's what I had to do to the one I'm currently using.

[Guest]

thanks

Will Photoshop manipulate animated gifs? I tried shrinking one in it, and when I saved it, it only saved the first frame of animation.

[blowout]

No you can't edit animated gifs in Photoshop, you need to use Illustrator or equivalent, I beleive.

By the way Man Of Steel, I think your avatar is made of iron.

dang, he changed it

I know that you can edit animated GIF's in Adobe Photoshop Elements. I have the program, you can change the speed of the animation too. TO have the animation repeat, make sure that the "loop" box is checked. I don't know what is wrong with the Iron Man GIF that I edited. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....it looked messed up after I edited the Bartman GIF too. I turned the "transparacy" option on and off, but it didn't seem to matter. I don't know what it would take to fix it. IMO the limitations for the avatar are too strict. Where do you find images that are already pre-sized to fit under the 65x75 and under 20,000 bytes limitation?

[blowout]

Its pretty hard to find images that start off that small, unless they are thumbnails from a webpage. The only option therefore is to resize the images using computer software. The main thing to watch is that the final image needs to be roughly square. If, for example, you use a comic book cover scan (which as we all know would be rectangular) the avatar will appear 'squashed'. So the image will need to be cropped so that it is roughly square, to display correctly.

I have it but I don't really want to bother with it at this time. I'm happy with my current one!

[Rickdogg]

I was looking at the site and the gif images are exactly the same

[chrisfuccione]

I have three questions

 

1) do you need a home page to to host you avatar?

2) do you need to know any special computer lang.?

3) do you know of any non comic sites that you can get an image?

 

Thanks CHRIS
