nkypete Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I had a technical question about our profile avatars. I noticed that Jumper_Dad has an animated avatar (the flashing Briar Jumpers sign). My dinosaur avatar is actually an animated GIF file, but it did not show up that way when I uploaded it to BGP. Is there something I needed to do differently or is that just one of the privileges of being "green"?!!
Jumper_Dad Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Good question...:lol2: I've thought about temporarily changing mine from time to time but I've never been able to recreate it and make it flash on other sites so I'm afraid I'll screw it up on here. Therefore I guess I'll be the flashing neon BRIAR JUMPERS from now on. Others have had them too, so I know it still works just not sure exactly what format you need to use to make it work. This has been mine for so long I can't even find the site where I generated it at.
nkypete Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 I didn't create mine. Like I mentioned, it is an animated .GIF file that was created for me. The dinosaur is supposed to be walking and acting in a very menacing manner. But on BGP, it acts like a normal photo (which is OK until I saw your avatar).
Jumper_Dad Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Make sure the file isn't larger than 150 by 150 pixels or 14.6 KB

Watusi Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Everytime I look at dino-pete's avatar I hear the voice from the Toy Story dinosaur.

LRCW Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 LOOK AT ME NOW!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! GOSH, I'M GOOD! I don't even know how you type.
nkypete Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Thanks, Jumper_Dad! I used GIMP software to make the file smaller.
Getslow Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Can't deny it... that avatar is now all sorts of awesome.
hoops5 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 No where to run and no where to hide. Here comes Dino-Pete.
hoops5 Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Is there something I needed to do differently or is that just one of the privileges of being "green"?!! Nope. I got nuthin.
BigVMan23 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 That's awesome! Personally I think it bites...literally!
