You guys with the animated avatars, how did you do it?

They're just regular animated GIF images.  Get a GIF animation program from http://www.download.com and go to work.

Please, for the love of God, don't answer that question.   :'(

All we need is more annoying animated avatars.  Every time I see that lost viking guy doing the pelvic thrust I want to thrust my head through my monitor.

Please see above post for an excellent example of why not to use animated avitars.

Here's one for ya. I used to use it on an Amiga forum (It is from the Amiga version of McDonaldland).

Maybe I'll revise it and bring it out of retirement.

Hah.

Menace, It's been almost a week, why isn't your avatar animating?

I had a really great couple of jpg's of stewie from family guy but I'm having trouble making them look decent as a gif--i was just using some freeware i found on the web so maybe thats the prob.  But between selling the old cab and building the new one, I haven't devoted much time to it.
