Janet can you up-load it in an attachment here so that we can take a look at it.

This is the site Len, it's the dog on the washing line. It will not load as an attachment.

You can either save this image to you pc by right clicking and selecting “Save image as”
Or just enter the url address into the box in your “edit avatar” section.

Cheers Len, i did save the image to my pc from the site, but could not get it to work when i tried to change the avatar. I'm now a happy bunny.

I know there's an actual solution to Janet's original problem of the gif downloading to her PC as a bmp but I don't know the explanation.

I know this has solved it by getting round it another way but if when you try to save a gif it only saves one of the frames as a bmp it's because your PC is bunged up and needs unbunging.

Can one of you techy bods explain properly how that is done? I know how to make sure mine will do it OK but I don't know how to explain it to someone else. (about not compressing graphics and stuff like that as well as making sure you regularly clear the cache thingy)

Sorry willow it’s above my head.. I simply right click on an animated gif and “Save image As…” it seems to work every time for me. Maybe some one else can explain.
