iriscruiser Posted February 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 :cry: How do I get the cute little moving pictures that you have under your signature? I would love to put one on mine. Had to ask my son who is a moderator on several train forums how to change color. He won't tell me any more. Help Please.

DaCruzNut Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 iriscruiser- I posted this a while back, on the "OT" board. Hope it helps... I hope you don't get confused... The first step is to go to a search engine, like Google, and type in "animated gifs free..." You'll find many sights. Some good ones are Animation Factory, Best Animations, Useless Graphics, etc; But, you'll find plenty. Next step is to go into the site and find the gif you want. Once you choose one. put the curser directly on the gif and right click. A little box will pop up, with a number of options. Highlight “PROPERTIES†and left click. Another box will pop up, with a lot more ‘stuff.’ One of them is Address (URL). The line following it, starting with “http,†is the net address of that gif. If you know how to copy/paste, this next part is easy. Copy the address. The way to do this is to place the cursor at the front, press the left click until the whole address is highlighted. Place the cursor somewhere in the highlighted area, and right click. A box pops up, and you left click, “Copy.†Then, go back to CruiseCrazies and go to your post. Type "[ img ]" and then paste the gif address right after the "]." At the end of the address, type "[ /img ]." LEAVE OUT THE SPACES I left. There's a technical reason I have to post it that way...... That’s it! Try it out on the “Test Forum†a few times…. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
