      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.

      The system here doesn't appear to be set up to allow outside-hosted avatars. That's the only way I know how to do it. My sig works because it is pointing to an image on one of my own servers, which is running a chron job that changes the image the sig is pointing to every half hour.

      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!
