Post by: Naryar on September 07, 2008, 11:54:07 AM: Use an animated GIF.

You could find one on the Web or make one by yourself.

I think there are softwares that can make GIF's from several pictures.

Post by: Venko on September 07, 2008, 12:06:59 PM: For cool animated .GIFs i use Macromedia Fireworks 8.
Its pretty easy with it.
You can see the splash of my "Drum 'n' mace" bot on my showcase for example.

Really? can you give me a link to the image you are trying to use? upload it on imageshack or w/e

I know that vbulliten sucks at resizing animated gifs. so make sure it is no bigger then 125 x 125

Post by: Gigafrost on September 22, 2008, 09:58:16 PM: Same here... I guess they are losing interest from the public due to the beginning of the great photoshop/flash era.
