Hi all, can someone give me a hand? I have an animated GIF, I made it a LONG TIME AGO, its the same as my avatar, but needs to be smaller to use is that way, SO I resized it in photoshop, but when I up load it, it doesn't "go its thing". What have I done wrong, or do I have my head up my butt to far see the light? as I said in the begining, its been a LONG time since I did ANY work with or made any animated gif's.

I attached the full sized GIF file if that helps

Well I am home now, and I remembered something, #1, IF you open up an animated GIF, it only shows you the first frame and when you resize it, all you get when you SAVE is that first frame.......which is what I have and is showing as my current avatar. but I can't rememeber what program I used to make the animated GIF.......grrrrrrrrrr. THEN I looked to find out all the formatts I can use in here......and I can open up the animated GIF in ImageReady, and resize it, and do a save, but it only saves the animation as a psd file.............SO as soon as my wife gets off of our BIG computer, I should be in business.......
