I know this is shocking but I still can't do it. I have found my favourite gif (in the past) and I copied the ULR and then added [img]at the start and again at the end. I keep trying but the damn thing posts as a link not the picture. :scratches head: When explaining please break it down like you are telling someone that can sew and knit better than use a computer ???? Do it all in gifs and I will seriously be impressed! I will thank you with a gif when done! :) I did add [ img ] to that post but it didn't show :/[/img]

    type:

    [ img ] URL HERE [/ img ]

    Type all that together. No spaces. Must be lowercase.

    Yea, that's really all there is to it. Quote someone that put's a gif in like this:

    and you can see the code for how they did it.

    When you google GIF, click the 'Images' tab so it shows nothing but the images/gifs...then right click that image and 'copy URL'.

    Sorry, OP, but this seemed like a perfect place to use this GIF. :)

    Alternatively, save the GIF to your computer, and upload it to a site like photobucket so you don't run into hotlinking issues and your GIF doesn't display. :)

    Jeep - you should save the image and use an image hosting site and use one of the resize options. Usually they list an option for message boards or forums. :)

    Can you recommend a image hosting site?

    imgur is the best out right now, low resources, and just works.

    good job everyone.
