Re: How do you make an animated avatar?
Good lord, did I really used to post like that?
I was such a stupid 12 year old.
In any case, from my memory you get into gimp and make some new layers, then rename each layer to frame 1, frame 2 and so on, and then you put (1200ms) after the frame name. The number doesn't have to be 1200. Just put in whatever number you want.
Note - ms means milliseconds.
Afterwards, save it as a .gif, then check "Save as Animation" and click save if you don't want to mess with any of the options on the new window that appears.

Re: How do you make an animated avatar?
You don't have to type in frame 1 etc, or the duration of each frame. As you add layers it automatically names them, and it goes in chronological order. When you save as gif and then as an animation, you can choose the duration of the frames, and I believe you can manually enter each frames duration.

Re: How do you make an animated avatar?
Whats real snazzy is when, if you are like me, you do cycled animations from animated shows. All I have done so far is "The Simpson's."



I usually scale them down to appropriate sizes for forum avatars.
The squirrel one was messed up by photobucket, but it is usually slower.
