Embedding Gifs?

[njmlondon]

Hi can I ask if it possible to embed a Gif in the forums?

I wanted to try to embed this...

Thanks

It's a bit of a weird one as the .gif link isn't immediately obvious

Go to 'advanced' tab below the gif Copy the 'Gif Download Link';

Wrap it in tags

You'd be better off downloading the gif and hosting it yourself though, if giphy remove the pic you'll end up with a dead link

Hmmm...

that does not seem to work for me.

sometimes I think I have the reverse midas touch with technology!

Copy the text from here;

If you're using Internet Explorer that might mess it up too

At worst, type up the post, send me the link and I'll embed the gif

The other thing to try;

Compile the reply, then copy it and paste it into 'notepad' or similar to remove all formatting

Then copy/paste it back

Sometimes when I try to add pics I have to resort to that, especially if I'm editing a link I've copied from another thread

That worked a treat! It makes no sense at all to a luddite like me but thanks for the tip.

BTW Twinset I just accidentally deleted my avatar. I have sent a new one. Can you update me? Many thanks.
