How to Copy an Animated Avatar
Avatars are pictures that are associated with a user name found on forums and social networking websites. Many websites and forums allow the use of animated files, such as GIFs, as avatars. Copying such an avatar lets you post that file on a different website or send the file to somebody via email. Saving the animated avatar is recommended, because copying the file as you would text only copies one still image from the moving avatar.
