MemberI just installed MSNM 6.2, which was supposed to show animated GIFs as avatars. I picked an animated GIF, but only the first frame shows. What’s going on?

MemberIf you happened to read the numerous 6.2 topics you’ll see that MS did not add these into 6.2 at all.

ParticipantYea thats what I expected too, no idea what microsoft are planning on doing. someone said to me they saw it in action and to get it you had to be in a spacific area, I personally thought that was bollocks. the new yahoo has animated avatars and looks better than MSN and upgraded better than microsoft.

MemberI got the new Yahoo! Messenger. It doesn’t support animated avatars unless you’re talking about those ones it lets you make yourself.
April 28, 2004 at 1:25 pm #80603912
Participantdamn your right.. it only supports yahoo avatars.

MemberLooks like AIM’s the only one on the ball with the animated avatars. *sighs*

Participantyour wrong there Trillian has Animated Avatars for anything using gif for msn, yahoo, aim and icq.

MemberDoes it allow you to use your own avatars or just the ones that come with it?

ParticipantI’m guessing the animated avatars will come out in 7.0. THat’s something to look forward to. If they don’t come out, and making animated pictures is so easy, then they may never have animated avatars.

ParticipantI am using trillian v.74 and it allows me to use my own animated avatars for aim, msn, yahoo, icq, whatever.
You should try it 😉May 8, 2004 at 11:32 pm #80595IMQueen
MemberTrillian doesn’t even support MSNM avatars last time I checked.
May 9, 2004 at 12:41 am #80592Dr Kimble
ParticipantWell it supports my own…which are just simple .gif files
What are MSN avatar’s file name, .gif?
You should download it and see if they work, you can always delete it if you don’t like it.–oh ya, trillian calls them buddy icons, not avatars 😉
