I have nagging yellow box with this message on my screne "Phuket Forum - Diving, Golf, Attractrations, Hotels, Restaurants, Shopping http://www.phuket-infor com/forums/general/"
I find this very distracting and often the way of my reading post. How can I get rid of this nag?

Also, I tried to use an animated avator and no go? I says it will not except that type of avator but I see them all the time here.

IJ slow down with your search as I did and could not find what I wanted. Thanks for any help coming my way.

Can you post a screenshot of that ad? Never seen one that interferes with viewing the post!

As for animated avatars,you should be able to upload it if it is under 120x120pixels or 19.5KB or less,whichever is the smaller.
I have never been able to resize an animated one with any success, it will just come out as a small pic.

The words is the title of the page, and should be on top of your window and nowhere else.

Animated gifs can be tiny, you can get them small enough to be avatars

The bottom one there is only 5kb

I finally closed everything done and rebooted. The nag seems to be gone so far. In terms of the avator, I will try a few more different ones. Thanks for respnses.

I still cannot upload from my computer. The avatar is only 90 X 100 by 8 bpp.
Any suggestions?

Whats its filesize.. 19.5 KB is pretty small.. Ihad a load of good animate avatars but many were up to 100KB

lostgringo · #9 27-08-2006, 11:38

Well, that is what is says is the size. I could email it someone to see if it works for them?
Thanks Everyone

If you resize an animated gif using a standard graphics package it will only work on and save the key (first) frame yeilding a normal gif.

I use Jasc's Animation Shop, but there are many freebies, just Google for "animated gif editor" and there are many.

90x100x8bpp, assuming RGB would give a file of over 27kB

Cheers Tyfon. I think I have a copy of Jasc's Animation shop on CD here somewhere. I'll give it a go when I have a spare minute.
I have a rather nice collection of animations on my HD
