Tina 0 Posted August 10, 2005 (edited) I love the Moving Avatars (especially the MB- Potter ones) But how do you save them onto your computer? Everytime i save as" Save image" it takes a snap shot of it- So i lose the other parts in avatar. Also- Anyone have any they like alot and wanna share?

Stephen of Borg 2 Posted August 10, 2005 everytime I save my moving avatar I use save as. Yeah, it only shows one picture when I save it and look at it, but when I post it on a site, it moves again. U save it as GIF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sea trooper 0 Posted August 10, 2005 ^Yeah, you need to save them as GIF files if you don't already. I learned that the hard way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Data 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Yes, it needs to be a gif. Also, if you want to edit it, you need software that edits animated files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Yeah. What they said. :lol: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
APW 0 Posted August 11, 2005 (edited) I usually copy down the image URL on a scrap of paper and type it into the appropriate box when selecting a new avatar in my controls here. I rarely save images with "save picture as...",since for some reason those usually won't upload properly at many of the sites I post at. It's too bad I couldn't have also added the music that went with my new avy.The dancing goes so much better,and is much funnier with Bootsy Collins playing in the background.

Unfortunately, having sound in an avatar is not allowed becuase the sound from swf's screws up the threads. They do not sinc, if posted more than once on the thread.

Madame Butterfly 0 Posted August 13, 2005 Does your firewall NOT allow animation? I upload mine onto photobucket and then just use the link with no difficulties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Angela 1 Posted August 13, 2005 But how do you save them onto your computer?

Madame Butterfly 0 Posted August 13, 2005 Try photobucket Tina, it's free. www.photobucket.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina 0 Posted August 13, 2005 (edited) How do you photobucket and image? Edited August 13, 2005 by Ambassador tinadoll Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Butterfly 0 Posted August 13, 2005 First go there and open an account. Once you've opened your free account, you simply click on "browse" and you can upload anything you have saved on your comp. Once you've added the photo, it gives you three types of links you can use for that photo. Copy the link you need, and you're in business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
