How do you turn them into .gif's?

Personally I use Flash 8

Just a point sugar, watch your file size... sooner or later admin are going to realize that all these avatars are slowing the site down, so a little preemptive self restraint will leave us with more creative freedom.

Nice Av's tho, just try to keep them under 100k

how can i tell how big they are? maybe i'm a little stupid, but it always shows up to me as KB instead of k? or maybe that's bad...

Sorrie, I meant KB, it's late here (02.50am) and I'm not firing on all cylinders.

BTW officially ...

Displays a small graphic image below your details in posts. Only one image can be displayed at a time, its width can be no greater than 80 pixels, the height no greater than 80 pixels, and the file size no more than 6 KB.

... So all my avatars are breaking the rules, which is funny cos I made one for twjaniak and he's using it. :D

ahahaha, it took me so long to figure out why people were calling me sugar. i guess i'm slow. i was like "are they talking down to me?"

oh and pushedbutton, i went and read that too after our discussion. it looks like pretty much everyone's avatars are breaking the rules :O uh oh.

Well I was a member of a chat forum in the uk that had to stop putting gifs in signature cos they slowed the servers down - I guess when you're making a 50 frame gif sized 500 x 200 px it's bound to, especially when they are over 1Mb.
