OT: FATBOYS...Or How You Can Learn to Post Images on DI

[OldasdirtDevil]

I promised to get this done a week or so ago, but as usual I've been busy. Some people don't know how to post an image on here (not everyone is computer savvy). A long time ago I made a 'gif' on how to post pictures, but it frankly was pretty crude, and not all that effective. This time I made a short (under 4 and a half minutes) video tutorial to try and explain the process a little better. I used simple, non-technical language, and added a tiny bit of humor (that could be deemed not finny). My speaking voice is not the greatest, but hopefully I can be understood. I have added some visual cues to help.

I don't have a smart phone, nor a Mac computer, but a windows 10 pc, and that's what I use for this tutorial. Probably much of what I cover will be very similar to those other devices.
Hope this will help some of our fellow DI friends to post a few pics on here.

Use 'full screen' (click on the small icon next to 'Vimeo') so as to make this much easier to see and understand.

oh god...I hope Ipsy doesn't watch this!!!! No telling what we'll have popping up on here!!!

Hey OAD, I do have a question. Images that I have in imgur will post here for me, but anything that is animated wont. They used to, but wont anymore. Do you know what would cause that?

Yeah, I think so, DukeKY. I touched on that at the end of the video. You copy the 'direct link' to post a photo on here, but if you post a 'gif', then you copy the 'Original GIF Link' and post it on here. I've never posted a 'video' from Imgur, but it could use one of the other 'links' that are listed. Different 'media' require a different 'link'. So, try different links. Hope that helps.

Think you really hit your stride at 2:59 if you ask me....

 

[LTDukeFan]

You are a great asset to this board. Thanks OAD!

Haha! Probably won't be that many people see it, but I thought it would be cool to throw in a shout-out to you & 'hokie for the great job you're doing. Besides, by that time I figured everyone would be bored stiff and I wanted to see if anyone was paying attention. Congrats, you passed the test, Timo!

You are a great asset to this board. Thanks OAD!

Thanks, LT. If it helps just a few people then it was worth the effort, and if it doesn't...well...I garnered a little experience while making my first tutorial.

Great video! How much did you charge Timo and Hokie for the ad?

I noticed it got more difficult to post pics recently. Glad to have a solution. I assume Rivals changed a policy or something.

I think I am going to get high and watch this again.

Thanks, FTB!

There was some serious back and forth negotiations on ad revenue. I offered Timo & 'hokie my super duper Oldasdirtdevil discount, but they laughed in my face (or was that a 5PointPlay laugh track?). Anyway, after running the figures of the vast audience my tutorial would reach, we reached an agreement. Thank goodness I didn't have to write too big of a check.

Thank you, DJ, that is very high praise, especially coming from you. I hope I'm able to continue to live up to those kind words.

You always will. And you know you always have my contact info, too. We’re friends, bud.

I may never hear the end of this one, Mac! Hopefully, this is just a shiny new toy that he'll lose interest in quickly!

You are a legend!

Haha! You know darn well, Bluedevil42 that the only legend around these parts is Big Luke Maye...just ask your husband! But if I'm ever able to ascend to Big Luke status, then you're going to have to show me that my tutorial helped you to post an image on DI. I'm waiting!!!

[OldasdirtDevil]

Thanks again, DJ, and back at you my friend! If I can ever help you with anything, be sure to let me know.

Ok. I’m going to have to ditch the iPad and get the laptop out to do it but I will! I cannot let Luke Maye out legend you. This is my mission and I choose to accept it!
