 When I ...[is it down load, or up load?]...animations into photobucket if its bmp it won't transfer to a site forum but it works okay with gifs. Can anyone tell me why and is there anything I can do about it thanks Val.

No idea Val.  My pictures are all JPEG extensions and I do not have a problem downloading to photobucket.

When you download your photos onto your hard drive, I wonder whether maybe you should have to name them Mypicture.JPEG.  Not sure  ???  Hopefully someone else can help you.

Open up the pic in your editor and selelct from 'file'...save as...then save it as a Jpeg.

Exactly what I meant to type but it came out all wrong ::) :P ! I am so tired .... thanks Ken. :D ;)

Thanks Ken...I've done it..I think. took me about 10 mins. playing about but at least its come up on photobucket as a gif. Much appreciated.

Hi Marianne and Ken. I've also found out that bmp are the largest files and photobucket has a 250kb restriction, so it stops the animation when its reduced. think I'll stick to gif and jpg, or small animations. Thanks again for your help.

I am glad it worked out for you Val.

It's always nice when we can share knowledge.   :D
