[QUOTE=noise;29509282]That scrolling text avatar isn't hard at all to make yourself
80x80 canvas, layer with the image, layer with the text (stroke with a color of your choice), layer with the black border.
Two animation frames, one where the text is out of view nudged to the right, and in the second nudged to the left, tween the two frames to 30, set the speed on all except for the last frame to 0,07 (last to 0,2)
file > save for web > fiddle with settings, and save it.

I am at a friends place, can't do it for you until tomorrow afternoon (4PM GMT+1)
[editline]29th April 2011[/editline]
Well maybe i can, but its a bit of a hassle. If you can, then it'd be appreciated if you could make it yourself.[/QUOTE]
Goddamit I need pictures. I'm a visual learner
Quite the waste to make a visual tutorial for something as basic as that, but alright, I'll get to that tommorow.

Sorry I guess im just that dumb.
I can make it anyhow if you really need it, but a brotip is to at the very least try following what i wrote.

But not today, cba to fiddle with that on this pissy setup. Seriously, the mouse weighs several kilograms.

You scaled down the whole 100x100 avatar i see, brotip, don't do that. The border is fucked up, and the text is blurry. Only downscale the main image, and recreate the text and border.
Something thats says XZXk546 Or Ghosty with this as a idea kind of thing for it

No problem.
I changed to apng but somehow it isn't moving...
[QUOTE=sa2fan;29522336]I changed to apng but somehow it isn't moving...[/QUOTE]
Weird and I don't know how to change .gif to .apng. Maybe we can ask someone to convert it?
Maybe? But also, I think the file size is too big.

Smaller.

[QUOTE=Leonardo;29522528]Smaller.
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/kaDOu.gif[/img_thumb][/QUOTE]That is way too huge even for Gold members.
I know, but after converting the gif file to apng using gif2apng, i reduced the size to like, 5kb. Still doesn't move.

[QUOTE=kamikaze470;29522573]That is way too huge even for Gold members.[/QUOTE]
Okay, I can't really make it smaller now.
What to do now. I used the gif you provided, then convert it to apng and then I reduced the file size with SmushIt to 5KB. But it sill isn't animated... Also, when converting is it suppose to be apng or png file?

I don't really know anything about .apng, pretty Sorry. Try asking other people?
Okay, but thanks anyway.

I doubt that you actually made it small enough if it isn't working.
And judging by your current avatar, it doesn't seem like you really compressed it at all. A gif with such an amount of frames and colors would have been awfully lossy. Import the gif in photoshop, and "save for web" again, limiting the colors until you reach about 25kB, after you've done that, convert it to an .apng. Hopefully it doesn't fuck up and ramp up the filesize (which can happen, not entirely sure why), and you'll have your avatar. If it does ramp up the size, then compress the .gif a little bit more and repeat.

And leonardo, a tip is to change the canvas aspect ratio to 1:1, (80x80 canvas?) in most cases makes it look better as an avatar.

I see it now, off to edit.
And ..

It is still by far to big, as you didn't limit the colors enough, and i think that it has quite a lot to many frames. 46 frames in that picture quality for a blue member? I don't think so.
[editline]30th April 2011[/editline]
Heck i would do it myself if this computer wasn't piss.
