Only GIFs can be animated, so convert your stuff to 256 colors (please without dithering) and use one of the many tools available, like GIMP or Paint Shop's animation tool.
The folks from the graphics zone will be better suited to provide you a list of more expensive, recent or better tools.
lol, I tried doing that. My folder then had like 200 GIF pictures. o.o How do you put it like in an icon or signature in general, not just on thehelper? Do you still like do IMG tags or what?
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature.

And I'm taking that as a victory
