ATS Addicts Anonymous..clickable..to the avatar thread

Similar in color to my current profile background from thebigfatfurrytexan.
Some little images of survival gear.

It's the start of my day here but I'll have a go after work, unless you are sorted out in the meantime

I have seen that before. Isn't that Beezer's personal voodoo doll.

No I see the image but the bottom is cut off...

What it looks like from here is the animation area is too small, only allowing part of the background to show up. The area the rolling cube is in may have to be enlarged to fit the background in properly.

Sadly animations are out of my league, I'm sure one the animation crew will be able to lengthen it a bit.

ETA: It seems the cube area is only 100x100. I think the area to spread the background out properly is somewhere in the 170x240 range.

This should work...

Lol not my intention, i don´t usually do animations except something cute for my kid. Not sure why it makes that white border tho as when i rendered avi in software it wasn´t there but when i turned it into gif .. there it comes..

OMG THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

Geez, you guys are amazing. I bow to your sorcery and prowess.
"Ask and you shall receive".....

humbly and sincerely,

Thank You!!
(now let's hope I can figure out how to upload it...and use it...do I just copy it "save image as", upload it, and then paste the ...what, the "for use in a post" and stick in my signature box??) I'll try that.
Thanks again.

Awesomeness, guys. Sheer genius.

No rush, let the artists do their thing.

sometimes i just prefer for it to be a picture of myself

/shrug

it's hard for me to stick to one thing

Wow, I'm proud of me!!

I've been notified I had to make my avi an official "avi" and not an animated background. I didn't think I could manage it - but I did!!

Would anyone like to tweak this gif with, say, adding an ATS logo on the board the owl sits on? Would that look dumb?

People LOVE this avi - and I do, too - I'm curious if there'd be a way to make it "ATS specific" without wrecking the loveliness of the gif??

Anyway, I'm delighted with my ability to figure out how to do it - I felt like Ryan Stone trying to do the "soft landing" while she was still in space....a beginner who crashed it every time I tried before!!

i don't think animated gifs are allowed, putting ats logo on it wouldn't help. :

i'd hate to be the one to get you to change it

reply to post by Jarring

???

It's now my avi - I was told I could use an animated gif as an avi, but not a background???

Okay, never mind, then. I'll wait to hear back from Zarni; I contacted him to check it out..


I don't get why there's a dif - or even "how", technically speaking - but...
is this one acceptable?

reply to post by wildtimes


you're right, i suppose animation is just not allowed in the background. as for it being official, i have no idea what they mean by that.

reply to post by wildtimes


Big Z or the hairy one can confirm, but I think the rule about not having animated gifs as a background image is due to the file size v's server capacity to effectively load a page full of gif images - so it is limited to avatars images only (small dimension and file size rule)

For instance, some of the pages HERE take a while to load as a lot of the posts / page have gif images.
