Welcome! If you're new, you may be asking yourself questions like...
- What is a GIF party?
- How do I get one of those gloriously funny moving pictures in my post?
- What the heck is a GIF?
Well, look no further...
A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) image is a sized down clip of a video. In short, a GIF "is a graphic image on a Web page that moves - for example, a twirling icon or a banner with a hand that waves or letters that magically get larger." Click this link for the nerdy info. This is a GIF of a waving bear, a personal favorite of mine.
Here's how to join in the fun:
From your phone:- Go to Google, search for what you want. For example "funny cat GIF."
- Click "view image"
- Copy the web address at the top (make sure it ends in ".gif")
- Back on TB app, click the little black box in the editing window, it looks like a peice of paper with the corner folded.
- Past the URL for the image into the pop up window and press enter. It should show up!
- You can also click and hold the image on some phones and choose "copy URL," which does the same thing as copy and pasting the link.
- You can also save the GIF directly to your phone, then upload, but this has some sort of required wizardry that doesn't always work.
- Take a nap, you've earned it.
From a computer:
- Follow steps 1-3 above
- If you are stuck on steps 2-3 (on Giphy, for example) right click on the GIF and select "Open image in new tab" and copy the URL of that page. (Ctrl Click on a mac)
- Back on TB app, click the little black box in the editing window, it looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded.
- Past the URL for the image into the pop up window and press enter. It should show up!
- Again, take a nap.
Remember...with GIF power comes great responsibility. Always GIF responsibly.
BONUS! How to add a spoiler box:
1. Type whatever content you want or add a photo.
2. Select only the content you want in the spoiler
3. Click the paragraph symbol button. It looks like this:
4. Click the "Spoiler" button. It'll show up now as a gray box with "..." but only
after you post.
Example:
Whew! All that explaining has me thirsty!
