It is a silly little alien that does a dance, it is a GIF (not that that means a right lot to me. Any how I saves it to my computer opens up the forum and goes to the link in my control whatsit that allows me to change my avatar and uploads me fancy little alien. . . and. . . It just stands there looking daft, don' t dance or nuffink  I want to be posh like you lot What do I have to do  |

There is a Ulead prog called something like Gif-animator but haven't used it so can't recommend it or otherwise. Rob |

 I've use PhotoShop and ImageReady to edit animated gifs. It's how I made my current one, and re-built Cruella's one... But for simple resizing, I normally just use "Graphic Converter" on my Mac. Attach it here, and I'll see what I can do...
