Phooey Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 I have noticed that some of you have GIF's in their signatures. How are these added please? Quote
RantMachine Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Just upload it to Photobucket or somewhere similar then paste it in the same way you would with any other image, using [ img ] url here [ /img ] Quote
Phooey Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 Cheers Ollie. SO I have to upload it rather than run off of my lappy? Quote
RantMachine Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Yup. Or if you know another website that already hosts that GIF, you can be a cheeky sod and use their URL to save you having to upload your own copy Quote
Phooey Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 lol ... I just created a Dropbox account, uploaded my thing but I can't get the bloody thing to work in my signature!Just to be clear, I am talking about an animated gif like the one Fossie has - How to ride through London Quote
RantMachine Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Hmm... never tried doing it with Dropbox so not really sure what the problem might be. Can you post the image link in this thread so I can test it from my end? No need for the stuff, just the link that you're sticking in between them. Quote

Fozzie Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 lol ... I just created a Dropbox account, uploaded my thing but I can't get the bloody thing to work in my signature!Just to be clear, I am talking about an animated gif like the one Fossie has - How to ride through London Just nick it off the website... Always the best option!http://dailybikers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/fail-lol.gif Quote
RantMachine Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Hmm, the thing you've got there is just connecting me to the JPEG thumbnail of a GIF (with a download option for the full file), rather than the GIF itself. Is this the GIF you're wanting to post? http://ak-hdl.buzzfed.com/static/2014-10/23/14/enhanced/webdr07/anigif_enhanced-23665-1414087512-1.gifBecause if so, just click "quote" on my post and pinch the line of text in the image markers!Reverse image search on Google is awesome for finding existing host websites Quote
Phooey Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 Although now I got it there I think it might make me dizzy ... lol.Willhavae to take a look after wowwrk. Time to get going again. Quote
