Just need someone's help quick.

I was just wondering as I have lost my super cool avatar, as it did not reach what ATS set out for guidelines. I was wondering if a wonderful member would please size it right for me so that I will not have it removed again. I need it to comply to the T&C.

if anyone would please do that for me it would be great.

I was told I could ask if anyone could help me out here.

Thanks

Awesome buddy!! Thanks.

As long as it goes with the T&C of the site I'm happy.

I am wondering if this is still too large for the site?

Maximum pixel dimensions: 170 pixels wide by 240 pixels high.

Maximum file size: Remains 75k

Anyway to get it to that size without it being super tiny?

Thanks to all you that have helped.

I 'll work some more on the file size.

Seems the file size is related to the color depth.
Here's a 4 color / 57KB version [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/22698c6ea6e0.gif[/atsimg].
Here's an 8 color / 94KB version [atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/ab698ddb721d.gif[/atsimg]

I'll look more to see if there's any other room to shrink the file without changing the dimensions.
Or if you're okay with resizing it further I can look into that; max file size is 75K, I believe.

Yep, it's the colors that's killing the file size. The shading and such limits how much the GIF can be optimized without looking not so good. I could try dropping every other frame in the animation and that would help but then it'd be jumpy / jerky.
