Right, I want an avatar that changes every half-hour or so. How can this be done?

pj knows... you should pm him.
You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.

I don't think that you can do that with html... At least, in your avatar...

The only way anybody would see that shift is when they stay on that long. It isn't the same as rotating. Originally Posted by Ynot

I'm pretty sure theres not, but is there a way to upload an ava in the form of a .swf? I would solve Goldney's problem and I could have an epic ava too =).

You could try linking to a script instead of an image format file. A script that substitutes the image depending on the time it's requested. But I imagine avatars are only allowed in image formats (jpg, gif, etc.) so you'd only be able to utilise this mechanism for substitution in your signature, considering we have HTML allowed...
So no need for cron but still need for a dedicated server with PHP/Perl.Code:<img src="http://www.mysite.net/imgsub.php">

Well, either get yourself a server or just ask an acquaintance sys admin to upload your avatars to their server and make a simple cron job or...forget about it!
