A new way to post gifs/images!

inactive

Hey 7Sagers! I know some people were having issues with posting links, so we (and by we I mean @"Alan Cheuk") found a great way to make the step easier. Here's how to do it:

First, find an image. For this, I just searched "laugh gif":
http://content.screencast.com/users/spaceursa/folders/Snagit/media/4f3ada01-d1a9-4056-b354-e93ebdc48c5b/09.16.2016-20.17.png

Right-click the image and select "copy image address":
http://content.screencast.com/users/spaceursa/folders/Snagit/media/a8587364-7e4e-4fe8-8f4f-9769521feb70/09.16.2016-20.16.png

Then, right-click and paste the url onto the 7Sage post you'd like to reply to. It will show up as a link in chat, like this:

But when you hit "post" or "reply", it will look like this:

Hope that helps!

Oh wait. Ok, it works, it just doesn't show up in preview.

This is amazing! I wonder if this is how I posted a GIF the first time, since I do remember my first attempt way back working. And if there really were no others aside from myself struggling with this aspect of technology, I appreciate you still pretending that there were, haha.

LOOOOL welcome to 2016, @danielznelson although I'm not sure how I feel about this.

danielznelson

I don't understand. Do you think I'd go so far as to abuse this knowledge??

It has to end in an image format (.gif, .png, .jpg, etc)

Yeah @"Dillon A. Wright" I got that but when I clicked preview it still showed as a link but Josh confirmed that's just how it looks in previews and when you click post comment it shows as the image

Ahh, yeah. Once you hit post, 7Sage's magical backend fixes the link to appear as an image, much like it does for Youtube.

7sage doing big things!
