i've known this for a long time, but heres an example of one of my animated gifs when I used a different nickname on HF



The background on this forum isn't #333333 anymore lol so it looks a little weird, but I think it's safe to point out that you might have to do that with gif images, since the transparent gradient i've added to this image turns out terrible no matter what I put for the optimization settings for the gif because gif images have a lower tolerance for transparent effects like this, whereas png has a much higher tolerance for it.

Haha yep, I dont think I will show any of my advanced stuff in this forum. I might go to a forum where people are more advanced in the areas of graphic designing like me and maybe yourself.
