Title: Extra smileys and animated gifs
Post by: busy_lizzie on April 30, 2006, 00:04:51
I wonder if someone could advise me?  I have just added some extra smileys and emoticoms to my Yahoo mail facility and I would like to use them on here and elsewhere but they won't transfer, or if they do there is just a mass of code transferred. I would love to be more adventurous with my posts as I see lots of animated gifs, etc  being used here which I think look really good.  How can I access them? Thanks! busy_lizzie

BL, to bring your piccies over here, all you have to do is

1) right click on the picture in question
2) scroll down to 'properties'
3) in the grey box that appears, a URL will appear, such as http://nicepichere.jpg
4) copy the whole address
5) come over to A4A (or any other forum)
6) click the insert picture icon, its on the bottom row, second icon in (looks like a little oil painting)
7) right click and paste the web addy between the picture tags

Voila!
