How do you post a .gif file?

Moss, how do you get it to play without having to click it?

I use the insert image icon and pick the image I want to upload and upload it.

That leaves me with this line (i substituted curly braces for the square brackets at the beginning and the end so you could see the code) [ ]

{ATTACH=CONFIG]671588[/ATTACH}

5120C68E-553A-4B46-82AD-ABAF00882C1A.gif


Then I do a preview of the picture in another window by right-clicking on it and opening it in another window.

I highlight the URL from that other window:

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=671588&d=1601583917

Then I go back to the original window and change the attach commands to the image commands:

{img} https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=671588&d=1601583917{/img}

(again, switching square brackets [ and ] in the img and /img commands for curly braces so you can see them)

and you get this.

Got it, Moss! Now I can properly respond to your last comment in the smoke thread! :D

Guess not... I saw your blank post about flipping the meat.

It had this embedded: but nothing there.
"https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=671600&d=1601586703"

Are you trying to do this from a phone? or desktop? Browser??
Weird! I clicked on your link attached and it is working fine!

This was done on my windows laptop using Chrome. Before Moss's instructions, I tried Safari on a mac, my iPhone with TBN app, and windows/Chrome and nothing worked.

Yeah, that's weird. All I saw in the meat post was a blank little square.

On your phone or computer? Not working on my phone but is on my PC.

Weird indeed; I still see nothing... Except for dead people (oops, was that out loud?)
Only is working where I created it on my windows/Chrome machine. iPhone and Mac not. :mur:

Haven't checked my PC. I'm on an iPad right now.
Go look now... I did it on my Mac. Can't seem to remove the thumbnail without busting the link though.
