@Wheezer: Found a site to make that smiley here. But when I see it in the forum it's blocked by an image of an acorn like this:

Is that what you see also? It displays fine on my computer, so I'm guessing the site I used to create it has some sort of code to add the acorn if it's used on the Internet??? Now you know why I changed my avitar to:

I'll try it again and see if I get the same result:

Well…. I'm confused. It displays fine right now. Guess I'll see what happens when I save tis post.

Confused Taz

It's not a acorn, it's a mouse (computer mouse that is). It's there to indicate that you can click on it to see a bigger version.

@ Karen: I don't know, that doesn't look like my mouse:

(BTW, this is a picture of the actual first prototype mouse built by Douglas
Engelbart in 1965!)

Gosh, aren't us Old Farts just full of Fun Little Facts – or maybe we're full of something else!

I tried Faststone resizer but that didn't work.

Anybody know how to change the size of an animated .gif?

@ Wheezer: You can resize them on that same sight here. Let's see how it works on yours:

Yep, it worked pretty good. Maybe lost a little resolution.

Did some searches – found many wesites that will do an online conversion, but not a lot of other options. Found one freeware program here. Downloaded and tried it. Here's the result:

Not bad. Resolution is better, letters look great, but the smiley is kinda blurry.

Also saw a recommendation for Gimp. It's a GNU program available on Source Forge here. I dowloaded it, but don't have time right now to check it out.

BTW, I really like the smoking monkey! Reminds me of George Burns .

Now THERE was an Old Fart!!
