Easiest way to take gifs would be to use Gyazo or GifCam. GifCam offers better quality gifs:
The one to the left is with Gyazo, and the one to the right is with GifCam.
Now that you have your images/GIFs you'll need to upload them somewhere so you can use them. (Unless you used Gyazo/Light Shot, those will have a URL you can use)
You can upload them to Imgur.com, Photobucket.com, Flickr.com, or TinyPic.com. There's plenty other places to use, but these are common ones!
Remember for avatars or putting a picture in a post you want a link that ends with .png, .jpg or .gif.
[img src="http://imgur.com/KEBylpb"] - wont work
[img src="http://imgur.com/KEBylpb.gif"] - will work
shunova To get a URL you have to use an image hosting site - personally I use Imgur because it's free and easy to use. Here's a quote from my own screenshot tutorial:
Now we need to use an image host to be able to generate a link for our gif.
4a. Open up Imgur (you don't need an account but it is useful for storing all uploaded pictures!) or whatever image host you like. 4b. If you have an account, you'll hover over your username in the top right-hand corner, and click "Images" on the drop-down menu. 4c. A big green button will say "Add Images", select your new gif! 4d. Click on it after it has uploaded (a thin green bar across the top of the website will display it's saving progress), and you will see a few different options:
4e. In order to use it on the forums, it has to be within an image code. BBCode image tags look like this, in their simplest form:
[img]LINK WOULD GO HERE[/img]
A more advanced appearance would be, which you'll probably get used to seeing:
[img src="LINKGOESHERE" style="max-width:100%;"]
This is also really nifty because you can easily resize your image without having to totally edit the image's properties yourself with an outsize program/image editor. Just change where it says 100.
