Quick question Wander Tones, how did you add the text to it originally?

Well, I just took GIMP and added Impact text to it. It doesn't allow for a different border colour on the text, so I can't really do that effect with it.

Yes, but how? For the most part, the only way I know how to add text in a gif file would be to literally make the text layer, duplicate it that many times for each frame, and merge it down with each individual layer. How did you do it originally?

(If you did it like that then I totally know how to do that )

That's how I did it.

In that case, then whenever you're editting gifs and you want to add borders, just make it all one layer before you start duplicating and merging. To add a border, just select the layer, create a selection from the layer (alpha to selection), make a new layer under the text, grow the selection by a certain amount (I did 2px for this image but I usually do 3) and then fill the new layer with whatever color you want for the border.

Actually... that should work.

Inspired by Zaazumafoo's signature, I have created a new avatar for the "Popular Culture Gallery".

I always liked Doctor Horrible, and his entertaining attempts to become a successful supervillain. Hopefully they'll make a sequel someday, after Neil Patrick Harris has finished basking in the glow of the Smurf movie.

Here is the avatar:

Thanks for reminding me, I need to add a "Previously donated" list to properly thank people who donate. Hold on... I'll add it now.

Could I use the last Pinkie Pie avatar on the MC and Equestria Forums?

Sorry for blaming you about the upload problems; I didn't know the real culprit.

As you were just the mastermind, you get off scot-free.

Oh, gosh, may I please use this one? I cracked up when I saw it.
EDIT: Darn it, Sonic-Ock already has it. There has to be another Pinkie Pie derp!face somewhere...

We could be twins.

That sounds good. I have an idea- is it possible to flip the .gif horizontal? Then our Pinkie Pies can stare each other down.

Who said I wasn't thinking of that already?

Actually, I wasn't. I was too busy uploading some gifs (all done by Cazbah) onto PhotoBucket. I will get onto it right away, though.

EDIT: And... done:

Thanks, Wander Tones! You rock the casbah. *rimshot*
