Is this possible? Make an animated .GIF buddy icon, with these pics:

Most of these pics are JPGs, so they need to be: 1) converted to GIF and 2) resized to 15X15. After that, it flashes Unexplained- Mysteries, with Unexplained- appearing in one frame, then Mysteries in the next.

If you could do this, that'd be great thumbsup.gif

Well....

I resized the bigfoot pic to 15x15 and it turned out like a blob --> [attachmentid=17592] I cant seem to get any text to fit in such a small area no.gif

Is there any limit to the size (not pixel size, but filesize) of the icon? if not i can come up with something a bit different

I think we're gonna need it a bit smaller, at least I am. Here's the message that pooped up when I tried to put it as my icon

The image you have selected is too big.
The maximum size allowed is 7168 bytes.


I love it though!
