Ok, I've seen some super cute animated (GIF) avatars here lately and I'm wondering 2 things...
1) where do you find them... Most of what I find are made for myspace (which means they can be lame) or are obscene.
2) How do you save it so you can use it here and it'll still be animated. (Every time I right click to save image it becomes a still image after it's saved.)

I just google "Gifs", or "Free GIFs", or "cat GIFs" to find them. When you save the image, make sure it's as "*.gif".
ETA: This site has lots of animated cat gifs:http://www.cybergata.com/anim.htm

Der! Thanks. I guess they were being saved right but the program my computer opens them in doesn't show the animation. Thanks!

Ya, it took me a minute but I realized that when I uploaded one. Oh, the power of posting... never fails when I have a techie question I usually find an answer shortly after posting.
