Mods?

Can’t just copy a gif and paste to a post without another host. Ought to be able by now to copy a gif from anywhere and just paste without a third party host…Terrible.

Can’t just quote a poster without having to copy their quote, select quote and paste. Terrible.

Can we get an upgrade to 21st century? One of the largest forums and outdated formats.


Amirite?

You don't have to post here.

By the way, I don't have to do this. After pressing reply, highlight what you want to quote then press the quote button and it populates into your post.

Simple question. I’d love to just paste a gif to your respond but I have to go around the world to do it.

What gif did you have in mind? It's super easy just Google what you wanna post. View picture. Copy url the come back and past it into the pop up box that comes up after you press the img button. I can do it faster than I typed out this post.

Get what you are saying, when a person selects “reply” shouldn’t have to highlight, hit quote, go get laid, mow yard, etc…


Just hit reply under who you are replying to, their quote ought to appear and respond.

Far as gif, quote the person you wanna reply to and post a gif or YouTube in the response without a third party host or a “link”


Just copy and paste in the quoted response and boom, there it is. Or same on other forums. That easy. Not knocking, just asking.

Not trying to be rude, but I’m not sure you get how difficult it is to just embed an entire YouTube video in a message board post

Also, we have a help board for this type of thing

I get it, know how it works. Just asking. This shite takes 3 seconds and third party host. Or link. Just copy and paste in your response and don’t show “link”, etc. You will be seeing the actual gif or YouTube vid. In the quote. In seconds. Copy pasta.

Not trying to start shite with admin but on a lot of diff forums and can copy paste a YouTube or gif straight to the post. Go to YouTube, find what you want, copy the address and paste straight to your post. Gif same way instead of having to use a third party like imgbb. Who can actually have access to all pics from your phone once you participate. In theory.

It works like this on several forums. Copy, paste. That’s it.

Just asking. This is a really large forum and ought to be up to date imo.

Your post is more likely to be read by them there if you want to give feedback. It will get buried quickly on this board.

For example stark, had to go to imgbb website, select start upload, go to library, find pic, upload, add, make sure cursor right, upload, paste, submit for that gif I just posted…

Should been, copy, paste. Same with YouTube. Not see “link” ought see the YouTube with a play icon.

It’s difficult is my point. Should be easy on this website. It’s large and out of date and I’m not trying to pick on our brethern at all.
