I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords

Couldn't make it happen with Remote Image. It played all the way through but then gave this error every time I tried.

Too lazy or incompetent to set up the image on a sharing site so I found a YT video that has outtakes including the faceplant and edited the post above

Well, I tried, my brain hurts. I concede all to the robots. Time for a nice ice cream cone and ,you know, the thing...

Now go to your gallery, right click the image and copy the link to the image (In my browser it's "Copy image link". Yours may be different) . Come back here, edit your post and press CTRL+P. Click the Link button (chain icon) and paste the link. Voila:




edit: You see how his feet slipped on takeoff? Misjudged the friction coefficient.

I've done the same thing, but I be I used different language afterward. I probably took longer to fix too.

That's what I did with results similar to the robot. Could be a combo of Linux and my browser? Oh, well back to binge watching Futurama. Up to Season 3.

Hey, if @Flopsweat could teach me (NWFA's resident Luddite) to effortlessly post GIFs, then he can teach anyone!

Granted, it was a long, involved, and painful process, but none of that was the instructor's fault...

Well you have to follow the instructions exactly... I think if you had been sober at the time it may have gone faster. Just sayin'.

So let's try again. Go back to your gallery, hover the mouse over the image of the robot, and press and release the right mouse button. A context menu will appear. Click on "Copy Image Link".



Come back here, reply to this post, and inside the reply, hold the Control key while you press the P key. A dialog will appear. Click the Link button, the one I'm pointing to in this picture:


Click the box that the first arrow in the image below points to, then hold the Control key down while you press the V key. Then click the Insert button that the second arrow below points to.



After a second or two you should see your GIF in the post.

The difference is that instead of using the link from the address bar, I right clicked on the thumbnail after I opened the image and copied the URL from there. That at least got me the still.

When I right click on the animated gif I don;t get the menu that would let me pick copy URL, instead I get the standard options from the OS.

I'll play with some other browsers and see if any work better with NWFA

Yeah, the link from the address bar gets you the web page. The link from the thumbnail gets you the thumbnail. The link from the image is the one that you want.

Using Chrome as my browser, I have found that after I open the selected GIF on my Media page, if I use the "Copy image BB code" command from the right sidebar and then paste that code into my reply/post and save, then I get my GIF, but without that annoying filename and user info below the GIF.

ETA: I find it helpful to open a second browser tab for my Media page from which to select the GIF. It's not necessary, but it's easier to select your GIF and copy the image BB code, and then move to the first tab to paste the code into your post and save/reply.

That's a good one! Didn't know that.

I have Chrome, but in Linux land it's an open source version called Chromium. In general it seems the same as the Chrome I have on my work Windows computer. Don't know if it;s available for Windows or not, but a nice feature is that being open source all the usual Google "spy on you so we can sell your information" features are not included.

Brave is a great browser for privacy. I use it when visiting sites I don't know. You can set it up with scripting and cookies turned off (thumbprinting and tracking too). Then if you want to turn it on for a particular site, you can do it for just that site.

Pretty sure that's not rouge.
