Just going on from this, Nick.... animated gif files - are they a pain in the arse for you, cos I have a few I'd like to use, just simple ones, but I can understand if you say no. (Abuse of use and all that!) :thinking about:
You might be better off hosting them on IMGUR as it's setup specifically for posting stuff onto forums, whenever you upload something it gives you the right code to just paste into your post :claping hands:
I miss that "stirring the pot" animated gif we used to have on the Telegraph forum. Have looked everywhere for it but can't find one anything like as good.
