A test thread for gifs

[j.w]

So media it is then!

 

[j.w]

Yep looks like the "my media" file wins! I'll fix my siggy tomorrow so it's all nice and tidy and knock off the extra, queens.

No room for but one queen in this castle

Now get back to your regular chores @brokensword and @Dimelius

you can see the third of everyone's siggy, except Dime, who has just two diff ones, but they're both visible, yes?

Yup!

And us Mac users can stick together!

heh, ain't you figure it out yet, Lil Queenie, pestering the queen IS our chores...heh heh


Should be fine; haven't heard anything to undo the process. Will put something into Super Boss' inbox re procedure and let her file where she may. So, you get your siggy all gussied up, and I'll see to making my siggy...ah, wait; there ain't nuthin FOR me to gussy, capiche?

HA, didn't know! One question, if I may; did you do a 'drag from one window' to the other and 'drop' it in the siggy box? When I try to drag and drop into my siggy box, it won't stick and I have to use the 'copy image address' technique that tells the siggy box it's a url. If you do do a drag and drop, can ya outline exactly how you did it? Very interesting!

 

[Lisak1]

I had to copy the image address, insert an image, then paste the URL. Couldn't do a drag and drop and make it stick.

ah, okay, we Mackies are in sync, then. Thought I was missing something....


(AND NO, j.w - this is NOT an opening for any such self deprecating gif you may own...sowwy, already called firsties...)

 

[Dimelius]

it's going to be the third that does the trick, j.w! Seems uploading to Media, then transferring from there to your siggy, is the ticket. Let's wait until tomorrow and get some sort of 'instruction set' written up ( @Dimelius ? You DID volunteer...), posted, then we can all cut the gifs not working or duplicates. This way, if anyone asks, there's more than one of us that can help. Ah, btw, I'll be in charge of the Mac peeps, the rest of you can handle all the PC scrum, capiche?

I can do it if needed

Change to windows! I did love my SE mac, but darn job had windows which for some dumb reason they put in charge of the network. So I had to convert to windows.

what I've tended to find is that the creative industries adopted the Mac early as it was more conducive to their work back then and Windows took control of the business environment. Now, not a lot of difference on the surface, but still imo, Macs are more 'plug and play' and don't have the same virus or update issues. The lines have been blurred over time, based on what I've seen. Thing is, I can get a lot of years out of one Mac and I don't think most PCs last as long, for whatever reason. This one is going on 6 years, got another that's 10 and a couple older that still work but I don't use anymore. As noted in another message, it was frustrating trying to be computer technician over the phone to my 70+ mom with her having a PC and me only ever a Mac. I know I learned a lot about patience during that time period!

Write it up, amico; we'll polish and shine it up, then plaster it all over this thread for posterity's sake!

I think it's safe to eliminate the first couple of anigifs, Lisa; Dime is going to start up the huge Italian Printing Presses and we'll crank a tutorial out fer all the rest!
