a gif. file, a video or a flash file?
Thanks ktv, I believe it says mpeg, I am not that savvy with file forms and types unfortunately, these animations are about 10 to fifteen seconds long. All The very Best

mpeg is a video.... I take it theyre stored on your computer? if so I doubt youl be able to upload them using the "add attachment" feature on here as theyre probably to big to be stored on this server.
your best bet would to be upload them somewhere else(youtube for example) and either "embed" them on here or just put up a link to them.

Thanks ktv, One of the animations was an ad for John West salmon where a guy runs up to a grizzly, steals his salmon then they get into a bit of a fight which is quite funny, you probably have seen it. I could try and post it the normal picture way but not sure if it would work. You did mention putting a link to it but how do you create an address or link to an icon on your desktop The old brain isn`t what it used to be.

you can actually put the video in your post too by copying a part of the link of the youtube page.
in the link i posted above look after the = symbol...that's the bit you want. type into your post [ y o u t u b e ] then put in what it says after the = sign. then type [ / y o u t u b e ] don't leave any spaces between the letters though and copy it exactly and your video will appear in your post like

Thanks ktv, I understand what you are saying if it does indeed have an address follwed by the = sign, just copy that address and paste on the post. I guess my problem is if its not on you tube or not accompanied by an address, can an address be created so that a person just has to click on it if seen on a post ?
I didn`t realise I had uploaded it on my post and all that had to be done was download it. I`ll practice with this and see how it works out with the different animations. I really appreciate your help. All The Very Best. Jim.
