Please help!

I know this is like my 4th topic but I'm still trying to get the cat licking the screen picture on for my profile and so far I've learned it's NOT a GIF and it still wont upload!

For future reference, if you have a problem that keeps persisting, keep it in the original topic. It keeps things much more tidy!

Anyway, if it's a moving image and not a GIF, it's probably a movie file, in which case you'll need to find another version. What IS the file type? Do you know? If you don't, right click it and select 'Properties' from the context menu,.

You can't upload a Scratch file as your user image.  You need to convert it to a .gif file.  To do that you might have to upload each frame individually to a website like this.  Basically go to the sprite that has the picture you want, right click the first costume and click export, upload that picture to the site and repeat for the next costumes.

It sounds tedious but that's the only way I can think of right now to make it an acceptable image file.


I'm back, and showcasing two new* projects!  Click left or right on the image below to see!
