Step 3: You'll see this:

Step 4: Copy the address bar

Step 5: Type (or copy and paste like I do) this:

Question, do you just have the imgsrc part memorized?

Fortunately I do, because I accidentally deleted my old note.

@marg81 does your link end in .gif or .jpeg?  Based on your image box it looks like it does not, and it needs to or the gif won't work.

On the iPad, you can just hold your finger on the image and then hit copy, then come here to the post box, press down your finger again and hit paste.  Though it didn't work for me this time - D'oh.

Nevermind. Quoted you on my phone to see your link, you're missing the = before first quotation. Your link is good!

Getting closer @marg81‌, now you have an extra backslash at the end of your link. Delete that and you're golden.

@urani‌ there's something wrong with your link. It should end it just .gif but yours is /imagegif

I can do it from my phone now. Thanks! How do you do it from the computer? Newish to the bump, and it took me almost a full day to figure out how to edit signature and to add a ticker.

It's way easier on a computer, @marg81.  Just google your image, right click and select "copy image address" and then come back to the reply box and click on the little picture in the tool bar at the top and paste your link there.

Image fail. I can do it from my phone but not my iPad.

@marg81 - On my computer, I just highlight the gif and copy it and then paste it into the post box.  This has worked for me every time - not sure if it works for everyone.

I have a Windows phone so my commands don't work the same way. Womp, womp no mobile GIF still!

@FrecklesInside‌ are you able to just long press on the image of a gif and get the address that way? I've never used a windows phone so I'm not even sure how it looks..

FrecklesInside

It is a really different interface, which I like, its why I got it, buy unfortunately it isn't compatible with a lot of iPhone or Droid apps , commands etc.

When I hold it lets me save or share and share options are by Google mail, tap and send or message.
