I didn't know I could do that, Before I resort to that though, I'll see if I can find a way to get the hack/reputation system to use the png files for those 3 images instead of looking for a gif.

I just realized, I also need a gold star..... should be bronze, silver and gold.... could you find it in your heart to make up one more for me? :)

Sure, Gold star in .png format in the attachment (Below). I re-coloured 3 variations so you have a variety and a choice of which one suits your needs best.
