If you see any such animations that you want to use you need to right click on them and save them to your computer. You then need to upload the picture to a photohosting site such as Photobucket or Tinypics (you can get an account free of charge).

Once you've done that you then get a code for each picture that you can paste to the board. It's a lot easier than it sounds - really it is. :wink:

Here is the step by step easy method.

First click on the link below and it will take you to tinypics

http://www.tinypic.com/

Put anything you want into "search". (In this example I put in "smileys")
Find an image you like. Click on that image. On the left you will see "img code for forums and message boards". Click on that and it goes blue. Right click and press "C". Come to this forum and click on post reply. Right click and press "P". It is now attached.

Easy-peasy lemon-squeezy!
