"Have pic, but it's *.bmp"
Posted by okaychatt on 08-16-04 at 10:35 AM

I have stored a sig pic as a *.bmp - the form it came in. However, it's an animation. When uploading, what do I choose? There is no *.bmp as a choice.
Here's the URL of the pic - woman news anchor reading news
http://www.animationfactory.com/animations/people_m_z
As you can see below, I have it up, but with no animation. Sigh.
Thanks for your help.

Sometimes XP changes the file type to BMP.

Yep, that's what's happening. Even when I tried to "Save As" with the animation you included.
I HATE XP!!!!!
Is there any way to save it so it animates?

Thanks so much. I take it you aren't burdened with Windows XP?

I'm not a graphics expert, but I've uploaded .bmp files as .jpg and they've worked fine.

I'm glad you asked this question, chat. I also have XP and when I want to save an animated pic, I lose the animation. I know I can change it in Paint, but for some reason, I can't get to Paint from the 'save picture' box. Icey, could you help out a gooftard? Please?!!
