avatar change for every post?, like mike's. ;] Options

[creole]

How did Mike make an icon animation of different avatars? The ones with people in shades. I thought that concept was pretty cool, and I noticed that every post he made, the avatar would change automatically. I saved it, and the format was not surprisingly gif. help pl0x

Not to be a kill-joy, but why is it so wrong to just provide him an answer? A support forum that's saying "go to Google?" It's not like a rotating image is a safe-guarded secret...

I think that it's something that started in fun (Mike's teasing) and went awry a bit. I'm also not entirely sure whether or not it's simple or a little complex. I gave the "google" response because I don't know how to do it, but wanted to attempt to give Beenly (the topic starter) a direction in which to go from. I quoted myself because he (Joseph) had said that he didn't know what terms to search with.

Hm, I really don't know. I tried, but it was pointed out that the scripts I showed were not the exact thing he was looking to do. I guess it's the people's mentality here to have Joseph do this on his own.

It's not just Joseph that people say this to. I honestly don't think that people mind helping. It's when it appears that the individual isn't doing much to help himself that it gets a little frustrating. For example, had he attempted this and came back with something like "I tried this but it isn't working, here's the code I'm using..." people might have been more apt to assist.

That's just my take though.

I do think that the teasing has gone slightly overboard at this point though.
