posting animated gifs help

anychance someone could tell me how to post them not as an attachment but just under the writing/post ive made ,thanks in advance .

1) Upload them to an image hosting site like http://www.picsaway.com
2) Click the uploaded image
3) Right Click and select "View Image"
4) Copy and paste the address of the image into the text box
5) Surround the pasted address with (Take out the *) [img]Image goes here[/*img]

I can't help you if you use a Mac, though.

as said above,use an image hosting site and use the IMG tags, i use http://www.photobucket.com for most things, they don't allow adult stuff though

Alternatively, you could Google the image, click "See full size image", then

this probably sounds stupid but what do you mean by surround the address with (Take out the *) [img]Image goes here[/*img], could you give me an example please.

[img] is a forum code that lets you post images directly onto the forum. But you also need to close the code by typing [/*img] at the end. Notice I put a star symbol in the middle of that one? I did that to stop the forum thinking I was posting an image, you need to remove it.



I saved your avatar to my PC, uploaded it to http://www.picsaway.com, clicked the image, right clicked, selected "view image", copied the address at the top, pasted it in the quick reply box, then surrounded it with the image tags.

people are going to think im abit slow but when i do what you say all i can see is a little red box with an x in it where the pic should be as if it hasn't loaded properly. i thought it might be because of my connection or the fact that i use a ps3, thanks again in advance.....again

ps i posted a pic below so if anyone can see it could you say please

The fact that you use a Playstation 3 may be the problem here. Do you not own a Personal Computer?

i do but i cant get it to run the broadband instalation cd and i phoned the customer service which cost me a fortune and everything they told me to do didnt work,sure if its the playstation its alright because im still able to post the clickable link and that works so i think thats what ill have to just do,it doesnt have the same effect but if thats all i can do ill just do it that way in future. thanks again man you've been a big help.

Its not showing because the url you've put between [img][/img] is that of a web-page, not an image. The url for the image is

http://www.motor.com/images/ih8k5hn2csoec5uvx1to.jpg


Using the correct image url, it would show like this:
