So a while back, I decided I wanted to make my own Gifs, so I looked for something I could download for Mac.

I found something called GI Ffun and gave it a shot.

It actually didn't work too badly when I finished, but the problem is that it puts my real name in the file name for the Gif and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to remove it.

Outside of tossing it and downloading something else, does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do?

In the filename? Can't you just... rename it?

I tried that.

Let me explain it a little more.

When I make the Gif, it appears in a tab on whatever browser I'm using like it was a seperate website.

In the address bar where the site address would be is the file name, which has my real name in it.

And under that is the same file name, in white text, which also has my name.

Basically, I've tried changing the File name, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem at all.

I'm thinking of tossing it and trying something else if possible, but I want to see if I can figure out the problem first.

Redownload the file, change the name, upload it someplace else. I can't tell you what to do about the original copy though, that's the website's business.
