Hi guys,
erm, im not really all that "down with the technology" so to speak, so I was wondering if any of you could help me out? On my profile, it says something about a URL link to my avatar (???). Okay, two questions:
1. What do I do if I just want my display picture to be a picture thats already stored on my computer?
2. How do you make those moving avatars anyway? they're awesome
Any info/help would be really appreciated
Thanks guys

I can help yo uwith the first one! You need to upload your image (but first make sure it's resized down to about 100 pixels wide max) to a free image hosting location. I use photobucket.com, because it's free and easy. Once you upload it, it will tell you the url to use, and you can just paste that in your profile!

I think you need special software to make moving avatars. I'll go look into it.

yeah, to make animations you just have to search for a program for making them. there's loads of them about but you'll have to pay cos otherwise you just get annoying free trials

I like your signature. I should post the same thing only substitute Broken Kid for Bad Kitty. People keep saying I remind them of Burger King!

Thank you for helping her, Lurker.

Young lady, you better not get in trouble or get bad grades.
Sorry, folks, had to do it.
BK, that was mean to Pixie. Burger King might not be as prominent in the UK as it is here.

Are you referring to BK's "D'oh"?
I took it as he didn't mean to get Pixie thinking Burger King, so he said that, like Homer Simpson does when he accidentally does something.
