Setekh did it! blame him!  

It is pretty nice isn't it, although we're not sure if it's a little to large (file size) to remain on the boards... we'll see how it goes.

Hmmm, try reducing it to say 2/3 the dimensions. Should lower the file size and still look as cool.

1) Load up the animation in PSP7's Animation Shop.

2) File --> Optimization Wizard.

3) Make sure "Animated Gif" is selected and choose to create a new animation from the current one. Click "Next".

4) Pull the quality slider down all the way. Click "Next" twice.

5) Look at the tiny "before & after" preview. Can't see much here, so click "Next".

6) The file has been lowered in size from 291Kb to 137kb. Click "Finish".

7) Now choose View --> Animation for both the original and the new logos. Put the windows side-by-side and compare. No difference, right?  

8) Save the new animation and upload it to the server.

9) Say to Setekh "Tsk tsk" for not doing this in the first place.    

10) Now say to Setekh "Good job" on creating the animation at all.

Or, for Adobe:
1. load image.

27. select "image size"

D. either change res. to <100 dpi (72 is plenty), or shrink to 66.6%

Nose. Save and close Adobe. Send $500 check to Stryke 9. And give him a more interesting title- I kinda like "Eats small children".

Ummm.... no.  
 

Dialog box in Photoshop upon opening an animated GIF:

This is an animated GIF. You can only view one frame. Saving over this file will result in a loss of information.

Thanks guys, I think Setekh knows how to resize an animation  

[DragonClaw]

  Perhaps Adobe ImageReady can do it.. I dunno

You think? I dunno...  

And DragonClaw, ImageReady (at least the version that comes with Photoshop 6) can read and write animated GIF's, but it's kinda awkward.

Setekh/Thunder/whomever, If you want the optimized GIF just say the word and it'll be in the mail.

Hence why I don't have one.  

[Stryke 9]

I was about to say the same...

Oh, and the Photoshop animated-GIF totally-wrong person, I think it's time to be condescending: To animate a GIF, you compile multiple GIF files. Hence, if you cange ALL the separate frames and recompile (a good 10 minutes work for 30 frames at most),  the whole thing is smaller. Speak only of what you have experiernc in, and I won't haul out the Dead Frozen Goat of Justice. Do I need to explain that statement too?

I love being mean.

Woah. I got Sandwich. I told you I'd do it...

And the last part of my advice would still apply anyway.
