this is a very quite basic question I know, but I'm feeling pretty dumb today and don't see how to do it !

I simply want to insert my boot animation into my posting as Dr.Romca does here:

I have created an amimated gif, but when I goto 'insert image' in the editor it asks for the url of the image ...
but only then inserts the url itself and not the gif, and adding it as an attachment is no good either :confused:

Is the URL to a .gif image?
Rotating_earth_%28large%29.gif


EDIT: Works fine for me!

thank you,
I obviously did not have my brain in gear but the penny has now dropped !
my url was to a gif, and when I previewed it before posting naturally only the url itself was shown.:eek:
