Click on the bullets on the column to the left to open albums for gif files. Ive created some categories.. let me know if we need others.

To Copy GIF files to your computer to use in a message or EMAIL:

1. Click on the thumbnail (thats the little pic that shows when you open a page of them..kinda like the pics in the roomies albums).
2. When the picture opens up completely, right click on it and choose "save as".
3. Save your gif file in a folder or on a disc to use in email or you can use a gif from our GIF pages in a message in here.
4. Since the update to Communities, you MUST save the gif file to an album in here or another community you belong to to have them work on the message board.

To Use a GIF file in a message:

1. Where ever you want to insert your gif file, click on the little yellow box above that looks like it has a picture of mountains ( it says insert pics if you move your cursor over it).
2. Look at the tab on the left and see communities...click on the Drive In. It will show you the different categories where we have gif files stored. Choose a category and the gif pics will open up. Click on the one you want to use and then click on add photo. The gif file will be inserted where your cursor is placed. (This will only work to add gif files to a message on the message board...to use in email, you have to save the file to your computer).
3. OR, you can choose the tab in the middle that says My Computer. If you have any gifs in a folder or elsewhere , click on browse and locate where the gif file is stored. When Path name is showing in the browse box, click on add photo to insert.
