Apart from the emoticons on the side you mean?

My understanding is that you find yourself an animated gif that you like - just do a google search for animated gifs. You will then need to link with it in some way. Most sites dont like you just linking with their site directly so what I do is to save the gif to my home computer (click on it and usually it will invite you to save it). Then I upload it to photobucket (or any other free photo hosting service) and put in the link using the hyperlink icon at the top of the message board (or if you use photobucket you will see a section which says img code, click on that and it will copy the code and you can paste it in the body of your message.)

So, is this the sort of image that you meant?

It is all very well getting them off the Internet but is it possible to make your
own ?

There are sites which say they will help you with your own animations - google will bring up a lot of them. I have never tried, much too complicated!
