animated .gif

I use a drawing program to mess around with stuff or a photo editing one for pictures. They will both export as animated .gif files. Are you specifying to save them as .gif or just clicking save as.Try saving this and click to specify save as .gif Rescued attachment avi1.gif

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Explorer problem.

Try the microsoft site for a cure.

Or download firefox and use it to get pictures with their resident file type.

Normally gif's animate when viewed in a browser or other designated software - so no problem there.

I use gif animator to edit pictures - should I choose to animate them.

Just try it...

Mine was done using Corel Draw, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Image Ready. There's a tutorial here that explains how it's done.

I've also did Snoopy's and MacSpeedy's avatars.
