    You can't. The board is no longer set up for direct posting.
    You can select the Direct Link code from your host that will sometimes give you a larger image showing on the board.

    Do you mean like the ones posted in the Hot GIFs thread?

    They were done using programs like imagebam. But instead of copying the forum code, you need the direct link to the picture.
    As a quick example I did a google search for animated gifs and found this:



    To post it you need to do a right click on the picture and click properties. Look for the image code. In this case it was http://i.imgur.com/gnCGi.jpg

    In the thread, just click on the Image icon (looks like a picture frame), and paste the code into the box. This puts the "IMG" code tags either end to display the gif.
    Or you can paste the link, but add [IMG] to the begining and [/IMG] to the end.
    Job done.
