Custom Animated Emoticons Help by J.J on 12-16-2004 at 01:44 PM

I can't seem to get 90% of the custom animated emoticons i want to animate in msn 7.0 to work

I have no idea why they wont work!!! :(

All i do is save the animation then add it to my msn emoticons like i would any other emoticon

What am i doing something wrong???

I've noticed something buggy with it aswell. For me it only allows me to add one animated emoticon per sign in session. But i assume it's because MSN 7 is still in beta, so we gotta live with it.

But the thing is, i can download animated emoticons and they will add just fine, but its when i save the animated emoticon and try to add it when it doesn't work...

I suggest reporting it to MSN: Help > send feedback
I've done so myself too, they can't fix what they don't know right ;)

Yeh true, ill send them an email now

Its's all to do with the .gif your adding. Most animated gifs are set up to loop indefinatly, and msn doesn't like these (for whatever reason) and doesn't play the animation.
However if you modify the gif to loop, say, 30,000 times then the animation will play perfectly :)

How do you do that?

custom animated emos work perfectly for me in msn 7 and i have never had one that doesnt animate so i dont see what the problem is. if the problem is with the looping tho, then its not a problem in msn, its a problem with the actual gif itself.

You need software like Jasc Animation shop...if you don't have it installed, I'll change the image if you want...just attach it

I was trying to get some of these in my msn, but i found a pack of animated emoticons and they worked fine when i downloaded them, so i forgot about these...

Didn't you notice it installs a searchbar...and if you remove that you won't be able to use smileycentral emoticons anymore? Also the emoticons are stored on their server :mipdodgy:
