Posting Emotes

[Ironwood]

If you have a special Emote you would like to post with one of your messages or as part of your signature here's one way to do it.  I'd like to suggest you use a small emote or your message might look sort of funny.

You can post an emote just like you do a photo.  First of all you will need a web host.  If you don't already have one just follow the instructions on "Posting your Photos to the forums" in the sticky above.

Once you have your webhost account you will need a "gif" emote. If you already have the "gif" emote on your computer that's great.  Otherwise do a little search for "Free Gifs".   When you find the Emote you want, save it to your computer.  To save it to your computer just right click on the Emote.  Then click on "Save Picture As".  When the next window pops up be sure to note where the gif is going to be saved and what the name of the file is.  Then click on "Save".  Once the Emote is in your computer treat it just like a photo.  See the sticky about "Posting your photos to the forums" :)

Good advice. I was trying it out earlier and didn't get it quite right, so I'll try it again.
