.gifs in signatures?

[Sit down, fat dog]

Does one need a specific rank before they can have animated images in signatures? I did search for an answer, but no luck.

No, not that I know of anyway.
All you need to do is add IMG tags around the url.
like this:

{IMG}http://img436.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ogiesigfu4.gif{/IMG}

But replace the {} with []

No, I did that.

You need to link to this:

instead of what you're currently linking to which is actually a website.

I didn't realise that animated sigs were allowed.

There is a bit in rules that says

Images with overtly distracting bright flashing sequences of images are strongly discouraged and will be removed.

I suppose its all a matter of perception quite where that kicks in, but personally I find any of the fast changing ones really irritating when trying to read the post above, umm, sorry

Fantastic.
