I am trying to add a slide show to the bottom of my profile under "URL for Signature Image:"

It just shows like a red X. I have seen other builders adding slide shows to their profile. What am I doing wrong?

Jesper,

I think you need to create an animated.gif image, but I could be wrong.

There are different ways of doing that. An animated .gif image would work but they can be very large and rather slow to load for the first time for others.

Rudi Richardson (tarok) has a flash image embedded in his. That is a pretty cool and usually fast way of doing animated graphics. Try asking him where he found that.

Cheers,
Jim

Thanks for the compliment, Jim. Flash? You mean that thing on my camera? jk. No, sadly my banner is nothing that fancy. It's just a gif file that gets updated with Figure135's RSS feed

OK, thanks for the tips, guys. I managed to make an animated Gif image. That will have to work for now.
