This post will be referred to as OP (Original Post)
I only know a few obvious ones but there might be unsaid rules?
Any ideas are welcome
Images and GIFs
Definitions
Image: Visual representations of them and also called graphics. Electronically, graphics can be either raster or vector. (Differences between the two will be explained in another summary)
Image file formats: standardized ways to organize and store digital images, storing data in uncompressed, compressed or vector format.
Graphics Interchange Format/GIFs: small animations and video footage.
Image File Formats
Most common: jpg, tif, png, and gif
Wackywriters forums: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, heic, heif, mp4, mp3
Note: On these forums, JPG, PNG and GIF are most commonly used. Some file formats are not allowed including zip and svg.
Using a link (PC)
Steps
Fairly simple.
Step 1: Find image in browser
Step 2: Copy image
Step 3: Copy and paste into post being made. The image will appear automatically
Done
Example

Using a link (Mobile)
Note: By mobile, I am referring to my tablet since that’s the closest thing I have to a phone. If you have a phone and use links to share images, what are the steps? I doubt this is important information so I’ll just put whatever I know and not guess.
Steps
Step 1: Find an image in browser
Step 2: Open image in a new tab
Step 3: Grab the link
Step 4: Copy and paste into post being made
Done!
Using the markdown toolbar (as long as you have the forums, it works o.-)
Remember this? (From OP)
To upload images using this tool, there are a few ways.
Upload Button
Step 1: Press/click this
Step 2: See This?
Good
Step 3: Pick one of two ways
Way 1: From device
Select a file from your device
Way 2: From the web
Simple enough
Step 4: Upload…Click this
Done
All you need is a link for the graphic…Tumblr is a great source for GIFs. (I did not use it for the example)

Here’s the original. It’s huge, isn’t it?

There are a few ways to change image size.
Sometimes, you see this
Select the size you want and see how size changes.
Using width and height dimensions in pixels
Original
![](upload://cV5ngNO9rsBMKmdcxenlFjSkdVU.jpeg)
200x300 (change will be *change*
)
![*200x300*](upload://cV5ngNO9rsBMKmdcxenlFjSkdVU.jpeg)
70x50
![*70x50*](upload://cV5ngNO9rsBMKmdcxenlFjSkdVU.jpeg)
Note: When using this method, the numbers go inside the square brackets, width x height
Finished switching around some things because I decided to include a table of contents (-_-).
Although the TOC is the first/original post, I will not be using it as the OP. If ever mentioned, I will use TOC.
Last 2 posts will be deleted transformed very soon so if there’s anything to change in the TOC, OP or here, let me know. After those two posts are deleted, reach out through PM.
Now, off to explaining basic stuff about uploading images and gifs. AKA another topic that might not need explanation but…
Or maybe I’ll lose my patience and jump straight to Spans
