ok, I've noticed this on a few people's avatars. jaime, mike, cyan and maybe a couple others have it. their avatars a constantly changing.

how the hack do you do this?????? I have some I would like to make a roatation, but am clueless as how to do it!!!! Is it something that is exclusive??? help is appreciated

I think only AD staff get it.

Surely they are just animated gif files?

No, he means that it changes to a different avatar when you relaod it. Like Wertz's "great minds" (or whatever) series.

The rotating avatar is not just an animated gif. It is actually a little script that is currently in development/testing that allows you to use a rotating avatar at any forum, regardless of whether or not scripted avatars are permitted.

In its current form, it requires FTP access. Therefore, I can't make it available to everyone at this time.

More details will come as they are available.
