Who do y'all think has the most amusing, disturbing, amusing, etc... avatar picture up here.

Clue's drawn nep pictures are very cool.

Sword's, is just freaky.

Someone used to have a down the gullet shot of a sarr that looked like an eye, that was neat looking.
 
My avatar is the best.

End of discussion.

(And it was CN with the Sarr picture)

try saving it as a jpeg..

often gifs are smaller than jpegs, all things being equal, if its a "simple" image or a drawing..
but at small image sizes, sometime the jpeg can be smaller than the gif!
and you can tweak the compression too, with a jpeg, to force it smaller..
(if that doesnt spoil the quality too much..)

Making it into .jpeg just makes it a picture and doesn't change from the first frame.

Edit: By the way, this is the avatar I made (the Smart Gif Creator caption ruins it, though, lol. It cut off some of the top. :<) :

oh..well you didnt say you were making an animated gif! ;)

Capensis,
email me at sscotsman at yahoo dot com and I will email you back your animated gif without the "smart Gif creator" text on it..and all 18 frames working.

I just editied it, looks good! but, as you said, its too big for an avatar.. it comes out to 61k..
if you take some frames out, we can probably get it below 48k..

your current gif has 18 frames..
pick out half those..only 9 or 10 frames, and it will probably come in below 48k..

if you can see the same frames im seeing, you have 18 of them..
let me know which ones you want to remove..(or which you want to keep..either way..)
and I will make another, smaller one..

(but I wont back at this computer until 7am tomorrow morning! ;)

I see...But I don't really want to remove any of the frames, lol.. Thanks for the offer, though. However, I'll think about it if I ever want to change my avatar.

Thanks! :-D This one is a copy of a print of rafflesiana that's hanging in my room wall.


You can't beat an avatar that features a great-looking home-grown plant IMO.
