Bill, way too cool. Are you Mac or Windows? If Windows, what programs are you using to end up with a .gif file? Harv reminded me that asking a Mac user a Windows question is like asking a Kubota owner the fluid capacity of a Deere /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Thanks,

Harv,
You nailed it. Windows makes extensive use of the suffix. I know UNIX can be given hints, but I know nothing about Apples (other than they taste good /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif).

When saving a file, choose the Save-As option, then pick the file type, then enter the name. DO NOT enter the extension... Windows will handle that for you, even though the display doesn't show it (something that drives me nuts!). Once in a while an application will want you to choose something like "Send To", or "Translate" instead of "Save-As". That's how my editor works for GIFs.

Rob:
I'm using Windows - so it will be interesting if Harv can see my new sig block.

I use Paintshop Pro by JASC. PaintShop Pro is a shareware application that I discovered a couple of years ago and they just keep updating it so I keep "trying it out". You can download it (it's big so use a fast connection) from most shareware sites. Paintshop Pro handles ALL image formats so you can open a file in one format (say .jpg) and save it as a .gif file.

BILL, I am using windows and I can't see your signature. All I see is a little box with an X in it

Bill, I vote yours the best yet! Blazing a whole new frontier in signature customization!

Mark, you might have solved my problem. I bet I entered the .gif instead of letting the machine chose for me (relates to my dislike for automatic transmissions, auto locking hubs, and HST). I'll give it another try when I have a spare moment. Thanks.

Uh oh, the mystery deepens. Just for reference, I'm on Windows NT, Tx connection, Internet Explorer 4.0 and I see it just fine.

Rob,
Yours works fine on my machine. It's Bill's that doesn't work for me.

Hmmm.... Mark and Jim - what browser are you using? Are you on AOL?

(Not that the answers to those questions would give me even a clue as to what's going on).....

Netscape, 4.75 on Windows 95 and I'm not on AOL

Another clue:

I just logged in thru AOL (Version 4.0) and my sig block is the little red "X" in a box.

I'll leave the sig block this way for a day to see if any of the "gurus" have any ideas then probably change it back to the static display. That moving gif may be too large (although it's only 4K) and the motion may be just a little annoying.
