How do you post a Gif? (1 Viewer)

[Otis]

I can see how to use Giphy, but what if you want to select one from elsewhere. When I use the media upload option it doesn't work for me.


As you can probably tell from the OP, I have never ever posted a Gif before.

I'm on my phone, I save the image then just add it like I would any picture.

Put it in an envelope, stick a first class stamp on it and stick it in a post box down the road! No need for thanks! Glad to oblige! :happy:

Just get the link to it, then click the image icon and paste the link

Oh, meant to say, I don't have the link. Just a Gif someone sent to me, so it is downloaded on my tablet.

Not sure, to be honest, might be worth doing it the longer way by uploading it onto Photobucket or any other hosting site you may use, and you'll get a link to post it here.

I don't use housing sites. I am old school and wouldn't even know where to begin.

Might just be easier for me to explain the Gif, eh.

No idea. Never posted one.

Can you point me in the direction of the poster who is always posting them up please, Hill.

I have forgotten his name.

Banned him, was a bit of a dick to be honest!

Some of you may have forgotten what one of these looks like?

I'd tell you if I knew, please don't twiddle that moustache in anger...

...maybe try and find the same GIF on gifbin.com? And get a direct link so you can post it here? Hmmmm?

Otis.

Go to imgur.com

Click on the upload icon (looks like an arrow pointing up to a cloud)

Select upload from device

Select your photo

Click upload

When it's done, right click (or long press on touchscreen) on your image that should now be displayed and select Open Image in new tab

Copy URL of this new tab and paste in SBT image thingy.

 

[Otis]

Will try that Shmmeee, cheers!!

Nope. Said invalid format? What is the extension on a Gif? Is it just .Gif?

INVALID FORMAT - VIRUS REJECTED

 

[Otis]

Not so sure.

What if I send you the file and you have a look and you see if it contains a virus?

Then you can send it back to me.
