Can someone answer me a computer how-to question?

[ailsagirl]

It's the simplest thing in the world but I don't know how to do it. How would I post a gif in a thread?? I have some a gif file saved in my local drive... so how would I browse and download it? I know it's doable because I see others doing it.

Thanks!

1. go to the du front page, then go to demopedia, then do a search for

"gallery", then read all the instructions there on posting photos.

4. Just for everyone's information

You can't post a pic that is just on your own personal hard drive.

5. right...you have to create an account at photobucket.com

and then post the url from there in the message space here.

6. Well, that's not the only way

You just have to have your pic on a website to which you can link. It doesn't have to be photobucket. You could create your own website, or use someone else's website. It doesn't have to be photobucket.

It just can't be your own, personal hard drive. Unless your own personal hard drive is a web server, that is.

7. Some hosts won't let you link to an image on their site.

If you do, instead of an image you'll just get a rude message or a red "X". Angelfire is one, there are others.
