ok here is the movie i made:

The gif seems to be functional from my end. Anybody else who reads this, tell me if you have problems with viewing it?

there was a probnlem with the first file but the prblem i have them right here:

Yes, the GIF works perfectly for me. The movie maker files do not load for me. If the GIF file is on your computer, Xilo, I don't see why it wouldn't work. It is 100x100 pixels. an Avi is 80x80. The UBB software should be able to resize it beacuse it is close in size. I make my avi's 100x100 and upload them and they get resized and show up in the forum.

The only thing I can think is you are putting a web address for the location of your avi. I would try it again, hit the Browse button and click on the GIF file from there.

Another thing I would suggest is this. Go into your profile, and select the USE NONE (or whatever it says) option. Click OK and confirm it. Then go back and reload your avi file. Sometimes I have a heck of a time getting a new avi to post. I know it is not a cache/refresh thing cuz I do that. I actually have to tell the UBB software to not use an avi, ok it, and go back and reload the one I do want... Just a suggestion.
