Some of you may remember my original dancing spiderman avatar. Well it's time spidey came back but I can't find it on my computer. I've found it online but I can't put it as my avatar because I can only make it move when it's a .bmp. Here's the link: http://www.khepri.com/dancing-spidey.gif. Any help would be awesome.

yeah but how do you get it as your avatar? I can only make it animated if it's a .bmp but you can't have a .bmp for an avatar.

Yeah I gave that thing a try but it says it's an invalid file type even though its a .gif.

Have you tried using a program like this?

http://www.cequal2000.com/coolie/coolie_editor.htm

You can also try the manual way:
One way to create a movie is to manually combine multiple BMP format bitmaps into a single DIB file. Use a program which supports the BMP file type (Paintbrush, for example) to create several bitmaps, one for each frame of your movie. Then, use the COPY command to concatenate the BMP files into a DIB.

The following statement combines every BMP file in the current directory, in the directory order, into a single DIB file called ANIMATE.DIB:

COPY /B *.BMP ANIMATE.DIB

The next few statements copy four bitmaps, BITMAP1.BMP, BITMAP2.BMP, BITMAP3.BMP, and BITMAP4.BMP, in that order, to a DIB file called MOVIE.DIB:

COPY /B BITMAP1.BMP MOVIE.DIB
COPY /B MOVIE.DIB+BITMAP2.BMP MOVIE.DIB
COPY /B MOVIE.DIB+BITMAP3.BMP MOVIE.DIB
COPY /B MOVIE.DIB+BITMAP4.BMP MOVIE.DIB
