Need Avatar help...

Sorry, not sure what forum to post in. For you technical savants out there:

I am trying to add an avatar to my profile - it is an animated one and is a Paint Shop Pro 5 image. I've already uploaded it to the internet and have the URL, but when I try to add it to my account here, it gives me an "image type not accepted" message.

Can anyone please help? Is there a way to convert it to an acceptable format?

Thanks a lot

Cant you just save it as a .gif or .jpg file type??

Ok, if I open the file to resave it (it opens in Paint Shop Pro), and then resave it in a gif or jpeg format, it will resave it in the new format, but it loses its animation.

Someone must know how to do this, and I would certainly appreciate the help. Paint Shop Pro files are apparently not one of the approved format types for these forums, yet most of the animated avatars are PSP.

Will one of you patrons who uses an animated avatar please share on how you set it up? Thanks!
