Does anyone know where to get little animations for your Avatar??
 

Hey everyone,
does anyone know where to get some cool lil animations that i can use for my avatar?? thanks,

~*Tali*~

I'll make one for ya! Otherwise... just search around the 'Net... click "file" then "open" and type in 'animations'! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I would be interested in getting an avatar, too. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

What is an Anatar?

the picture by your name is an avatar

Try here

Try this (it's how I found mine):
when you see someone's avatar that you quite like, right click on it, choose Properties, and get the name. Then copy and paste that into the address bar on top of your screen, and you will find the website where they got theirs. Then you are free to look around the rest of that site and pick a different avatar that you like. It beats doing loads of searches on Yahoo or Google or whatever.

Mine came from http://www.bestanimations.com

Hope that helps!

I'm just checking to see if mine works. If I don't have a nifty little picture under my name, what exactly are you supposed to type into the picture line in the profile?

Thanks!


Yippee! It worked! Thanks for the links! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Just posting to see if the avatar works...

By the way, thanks for all the links guys!

I haven't the slightest clue how to do it, and being as I'm so impatient, I think I'll never have an avatar. So in the future, if you should see a post of mine, imagine next to it a picture of A TOTAL CLUELESS SPAZZ.

Thank you in advance!

Yea thanks for the bestanimations website, theres some good stuff there!

Can anyone tell me how to put one on??? I'm totally computer illiterate... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

So am I. I would like that, too. Even though I'm sure you'd do well just imagining a picture of a TOTAL CLUELESS SPAZZ by my post. Thanks guys for showing where to get the pictures, but what do I do to put one up?

My avatar isn't working, but it was just a few posts ago. What's wrong!? AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! the red x my preciousss, we hates it, we hates it forever!!!

For basic instructions on putting up an avatar, please see the Forum FAQ thread.

2. Right-click on the picture.

3. You should see a little drop-down list. Click on your last choice, 'Properties.'

4. A box-thingy should pop up. A little tab at the top should say, 'General' and the rest should say:

Thank you Eressie! I finally finally did it, thanks to you! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I can see yours, Sophia. It's purple lightning! Fun!!

BTW, Quirkette, who is that in your avatar? She's kinda freaky lookin'... Is she that lady in the black-and-white Pyscho?

I'm a SHADE!!!! GO MEEEE!!!!!

Yes, it's Janet Leigh from "Psycho", the shower scene. I thought it was a bit of a hoot. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Here's me trying out a candle avatar and a new sig.

After a few short minutes: Oh gosh it's a thing of beauty! Thank you, Eressië Ailin. I followed your 10 steps. Very easy to follow.

P.S. If somebody else has this avatar, please PM me so I can find a different one.

I feel important! The 10 steps thing was possibly one of the only useful posts of mine. Anytime!

Mordor_Queen, I can finally see yours; it's one of my favorites, although it's been used by quite a few people before.

Cherie Centaur, I think your current avatar is lovely.

Testing

Dont forget that some site have bandwith limitations, if they are exceded, you get a nice red X as your avatar.
