OT: How to Post a Picture or Gif on the Board...my attempt to explain

[OldasdirtDevil]

I don't have any video editing software, but I made some 'snapshots' and made a gif out of it in an attempt to show some of the posters on here how to post a pic or gif. Excuse the 'writing', it's hard to do with a mouse.
I set the frames of the gif to 5 seconds each...which hopefully gives enough time to read each one.

Okay, I don't have anything to do with 'Photobucket', but it's the 'image storage' site that I use and am comfortable with...there are others, but I used my account as an example. Photobucket has a free account so it won't cost anything to use it...just sign up...or use any other service.

When I make reference to right clicking your mouse...I mean the button on the right side, not the one that you usually use to just click.

I hope this helps anyone that hasn't been able to post pictures, or gifs. OFC

Here is the Picture Posting Instructional gif. It starts at the 'Google' page.

Your explanation was great. You unleashed a monster. I may now only communicate through gifs.

Hahaha! I'm glad someone could read a little of my 'chicken scratching' on the images!

I nominate you for moderator!

I nominate you for moderator!

I appreciate the vote of confidence, Dadz, but I don't think I'm qualified.
It would cut into my photoshopping time anyway!

You're a good man OAD.

Hey dirt, think you can make a gif of Giles putting the hat on?

Here you go, Dbav.

EDIT...I just thought about the song that Del Shannon sang 'Hats Off to Larry'. I know only the old guys remember it. No one probably cares about it, but I'm going to sit here and try to change the lyrics a little to fit Harry Giles. Here goes!

Hats On To Harry (for Duke)

Once Cal had a nice recruit
His name does matter
He went away with another coach
Now Cal won't even look at him

Hats on to Harry
He broke Cal's heart
Just like he broke Roy's when
He said we must part

Roy told you lies
How it's
THR's time to cry, cry, cry
Now that Harry said goodbye to you

I know this may sound strange
K's got your back
I don't think you'll change
But there's one more thing I gotta say

Hats on to Harry
It may sound cruel
But you laughed at Roy when you
said we were through

Roy told you lies
Now it's
THR's turn to cry, cry, cry
Now that Harry said goodbye to you

You're the master. I'll have to get that in the gifsteria thread.

Yeah, go ahead and put it in there if you want to, Dbav.

Very good tutorial. I think I can make it happen now!
