Correct, 500 to be exact. You can change your location and signature to support.

 

[OrangeSVTguy]

Changed mine. Too bad it takes up to 2 hours.

Also added this thread to my sig.

Edit:
Are our Avatars not allowed to be .gif format? Because it's working on my profile.... hmm.

 

[SkyBell]

Done... I hope it's acceptable.

EDIT: Re-did it. Tiger's preview doesn't have all the features of Leopard, but it still works fine.

 

[Silencio]

Did somebody say BLACKOUT!

Of course this probably puts me afoul of the new law if I were in NZ. What a farce.

 

[jodelli]

Ok. Not only is this a good idea it explains the puzzling avatar settings. I kinda wondered who died or something, the latter of which is what it turned out to be.

 

[iBlue]

Since this is the official thread for it I figured I should post in it. Have had my 'tar changed for a few days now. Black is the new black or something.

 

[pivo6]

I just saw this thread and I'm in.

 

[r.j.s]

I just saw this thread and I'm in.

Here's your avatar.

 

[oscillatewildly]

No avatar, but I say burn the witch.

 

[Pixellated]

I'm in. Avatar not changed yet though :/

 

[ergdegdeg]

I'm in!

 

[Dmac77]

I'm in. What they're doing in NZ is total BS.

EDIT: Hopefully my avatar will change soon!

Don

I used Flash Professional, animated my original 'tar, exported as png sequence and used a free app called GIFfun* to make the images into an animation.

*I used GIFfun because Flash has terrible gif export.


If you don't have Flash you could make several copies of your 'tar and gradually darken each frame in Mac OS X Preview, then drag the folder of images into GIFfun.
