and look for the pictures, video you want to add as a gif.

Thanks for comments guys

 

Ok i officialy give up on trying to make a avatar lol been trying for days now... could you help me xxavixx?

 

Thanks for the share It's quite helpful to many people who are looking for something to do with their avatar. A few things to add;

1) The avatar size limit is 80x80 - keep that in mind (so people don't make it too big).
2) When you go to create a custom avatar, you don't need the tags. You only need the direct link to the image.
3) You can find totally free .gifs created for signatures and avatars here: [url]www.giftube.com[/url], so you can just use that as an avatar.

For example, to use this image found on Giftube.com, [url]http://giftube.com/gif/Blooper-13381[/url], you need to find the URL of the image.

One way to do this is to right click it and select "View Image" or "Open Image" and then copy and paste the URL in the address bar. Another way is on Giftube, if you scroll down, you will see this at the bottom:
MySpace: <a href="http://giftube.com/"><img src="http://www.videobeta.net/gifs/13381.gif" alt=""></a>. It is quite easy to see that the URL of the .gif is "www.videobeta.net/gifs/13381.gif" so you would copy and paste that into your Avatar (after re-sizing it). Voila!


What you provide is worthy of a 9/10 based on effort and quality, but to improve the quality in my eyes, just try to incorporate these tips Nice job.

 

nice guide i may use this =], nice and short but effective, 9.5/10

 

Great guide, im gonna try it now. Thanks 8/10! Some pictures could be clearer!
