loading a gif

[gazza131]

hi all,
i have uploaded a gif file to as my avatar, but its not moving....
any idea's on how to get it working, or wont a gif file work ??

it usually does that if the gif is bigger than what the site will accept...

say the site max is 125x125 pixel & you upload 150x150 it will scale it down but stop it being animated..

Yeah. I had to scale mine down and reduce the number of frames to get it inside the site limits.

how do i reduce its size plz

[BaRoN30s]

i use ImageReady CS2 that comes installed with Photoshop CS2 (v9)

if you cant do it just upload it here & i will re size it & re upload it back here for you to use..

should work then

or you could try n search google for a online gif resizer

Free image editors like Photobie, Photoscape, GIMP (though I can't see how to play a GIF in GIMP)) and probably a lot of others will resize your image for you.
