Hi There,

I have searched for info to no avail.

Can you tell me how to set up the Avatar so that it will scroll multiple pictures?

Cheers,

Marcus.

1. create an animation of the images you want to use in something like Photoshop
2. export as a .gif file
3. host it somewhere like in Photobucket
4. in you User Control Panel / Profile / Edit Avatar, upload the animation from a URL by pasting the link to where the animation is hosted

hope I have it right.......


the maximum image size is a width of 155 x a height of 210.

not sure if there is a file size restriction but mine is 195.31kb fwiw
