Misc Av Thread: Nationality

In honour of last nights amazing showing of Team GB athletes and in particular, the face of Team GB herself and the winner of the Heptathlon, Jessica Ennis, I'm going with avatar of her. I would do one of all three athletes who won gold last night in the Olympic Arena, but I'm not very good at GIFs as to me, the results last night showed just how multicultural Great Britain is.

Here you go:

That was a fantastic showing for Britain on the track last night.

Indeed it was, listening to the stadium sing the National Anthem for Ms Ennis brought a tear to my eye.

Thank you very much for this, which program do you use to make the GIFs?

Anyway, I think I will use this myself and upload it onto my photobucket account.

So yes, I'll enter this.

I used a freeware program called Photoscape. It's got a lot of cool features for being free.

When it's a really simple gif like that with only a few frames, you can even use a free online service like Gickr to combine them into a gif for you without having to download anything. Gickr will also create a gif from a YouTube video (see menu at the top).

If the no flag thing means, no flags what so ever and not just a flag as an avatar with nothing else, I'll enter this one instead.

I don't have a problem if they're part of something like in that picture. It's only when used as the sole thing, in order to make it more challenging.

No, not Disneyland - they just copied ours

 

[Owain Taggart]

Alright, would tonight be a good time to close for entries and put up a poll?

 

[trekkiedane]

I'm cool with it.

Didn't we use to have (at least) one week-end day and one work-day for the voting though? -or am I thinking of another AV-contest thread?

 

[Owain Taggart]

Oh, didn't realize it was that specific, but yeah, I can leave it up until tomorrow.

 

[trekkiedane]

^I don't know if it is!!!

I just remember -in one of these threads- being told something to that effect; some posters spend more time here on week-ends and some on work-days...

Too big. It mustn't be bigger than 150x150 pixels.

 

[smiki]

Fixed!

Edit: Also, considering what CorporalClegg was going for, cosmopolitanism, and since flags aren't allowed, I reckon he could go with this, if he so chooses.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

thanks, smiki! You're a darling!

 

[trekkiedane]

That last one kinda reminds me of my very first T-BBS avatar:

In which I was putting myself on the map and making other members dizzy.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Alright, I'm giving this a few more hours and then I'll put up the poll. Kai, can you confirm which one you'll be using, please?
