How do you make your own avatar? what program could you use to make it? you know like that thingy with a slide show thingy and it says pirates online and it shows a slide show of weapons and it keeps repeating? yeah how do you make those?

I will make one for you a avatar like mine do you mean that moves?

I think he means an animated gif avatar. You can use many different programs, photo shop is very simple (but costs a lot).

Good luck getting your avatar Blaster, and good luck making it J if that's what you're gonna do

Use the Program GIMP its exactly the same as photoshop but FREE

It is, but photoshop has some easier features to it. Such as you can drag effects over to you image, etc. It has a little more to offer, due to it's expensive price, but yes, GIMP is also another good source (I have both on my computer).

And saving a GIF image to your desktop should allow you to use it. I save all my images to my desktop, and later move them into folders, all of which can be used as an avatar anywhere. You just need to make sure it's the right size.

...I think that depends on what OS you be using SO...

I had this problem with my avatar but when I downloads a bigger size it worked
for some reason :-)

Yes, it is very important that you save it as the proper size:

The maximum size of your custom image is 64 by 64 pixels or 146.5 KB (whichever is smaller).

If it is not within those size requirements, the avatar will not animate. Also, if you are using photoshop make sure to save it using the 'Save to Web and Devices' option.
