I was just wondering because I have quite a few saved on my hard drive from the mid 2000's that have been scrubbed from the wonderful wide web.


.GIF is not the same thing as .JPG / .JPEG or .PNG.

Seems like a .gif to me? Look I know I'm stupid. Just trying to get some help or clarification.

I do not believe TexAgs will let you directly upload a .GIF (animated pictures) from your computer, thus the message you were getting from TA earlier. You can only put .GIFs in your post by linking to a .GIF somewhere on the internet (which has its own fickle rules).

You can only directly upload .JPG or .PNG files (static pictures) from your computer.

I vehemently dispute this.

Posting on TA app from mobile f'ing sucks and doesn't work without repeated failures.

Caveat: I'm saying this under assumption that you are first searching for gifs and then trying to post. Maybe you are pulling them from a dedicated source you have.

PC gif posting is cake.

Two part question:
1.Did you figure this part out?
2.Did you take a picture of your computer screen with your phone and post that instead of snipping it?

If you have a gif on your PC, you need to go here: https://imgur.com/upload and either click Choose Photo/Video, find the directory, and select the file or you can drag and drop it from a folder onto the screen. You need a host for your moving picture file. When it uploads...then, just do what you did before, baby.



A B C, easy as 1 2 3!

Yeah photobucket and dropbox didn't seem to work for me. Thanks for the imgur suggestion BadMoonRisin.
