Title: GIF's
Post by: Ava C on November 02, 2011, 02:30:21 AM
GIF |jif, gif|
nounComputing
a lossless format for compressing image files: [ as modifier ] : a GIF image.
• a file in this format.

Its basically a image file that moves.


Anyways on all the other forums I use, a-lot of people use gifs. It's also a way of showing emotion like -  :) ;) :D ;D :( 8) ???

For example instead of having a borderline emoticon ( :-\)

You could use this instead or both. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.tumblr.com%2Ftumblr_lsgdwhgu4a1qly1pm.gif&hash=3ded738f2111eba88535d0018b326eb95e98bb88)


Anyways I've been using them for years now and it's just a different type of smiley face.


Are we allowed to use them?

it would fall under user posted image guidelines, in the example you posted, it wouldn't be allowed due to file size of the image
