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")
Paste it into this code: <img src="https://yourlink.gif"> (you do not need the quotations)
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.
From a computer:
Follow steps 1-3 above
Click the green icon in The Bump area where you type (looks like a photo of a tree)
Paste your link
Press submit - voila!
Remember...with GIF power comes great responsibility. Always GIF responsibly.
@bbrooke92 do you have a space between the "-" and "images" it looks like the rest of the format is right. I would check to see if there is a space between that and delete it...also delete the semi-colon at the end
I'm a big Giffer, but this is the first time trying from my phone. Didn't know it was possible

Re: Here's how to insert a GIF in your post.

I'm giving this a try... and I love this because it seems like something my cats would do!
Woot! Finally, success.

Did I type out the code correctly this time?
ETA: FINALLYYYYY!!! Cannot wait to utilize this on many more occasions lol
Testing....
Testing again..
ETA: I'm done trying...I cannot gif from my iPhone
Here's how I do it on mobile to make it a little easier maybe...
Step One: copy the tag from the very first post here. I have this saved in a note on my phone. I copy and paste it into the text box here.
Step Two: Find GIF and get URL. You should be able to do this by holding down on the image and hitting copy.
Step Three: Do something similar to the picture I posted. Get rid of the quotes, URL after the equal sign and before the less than sign...
Yay! - mobile sucks... So this isn't as clear as I would like, but if anyone needs help I'm here.
