i can try but I must confess I am not a computer person.

I attempt to put mine up on tinypic, but it fails for some unknown reason, it just tells me that the service is unavailable

Tell me what you think. I been on pivot for 3 years and never really realized I can post stuff till my friends told me about this.
I happy to be onboard and yes I know how am I so stupid not to google search it.



This is a quickie. Tell me what you think!

It doesn't give me the option to save as a GIF.

Can you post a printscreen of what happens when you try to save?

Pivot 3: Save animation as > .piv > Change it to .gif
Pivot 4: Export animation > Gif

Thank you. I was able to save as a GIF, but now when I try to upload the file it doesn't display any of my saved GIFs or animations, it just displays the files that came with Pivot 4. I also noticed that the files that are not displayed when I try to upload have small lock symbols when I access them otherwise.

Uplaod the Gif to Imgur.com and copy one of the link on the side, the once with the [img] tag in the front and end.

It won't let me upload the Gif. I tried browsing through files, dragging and dropping the file, and copying and pasting the file. When I try browsing the files, the folder I save all my Gifs to doesn't show up. When I save the Gif to other folders, the file doesn't show up, nor do any of my other animations, but when I access them by going through the files at any other time besides uploading, all of my files are there. The ones that do not show up when I try to upload have small lock symbols by their icons. As for copying and pasting, nothing happens when I paste. It's the same for dragging and dropping.

You'll need to show us screen shots of your problem then

Ok, so look at the folder that is highlighted. It has a small lock symbol by it's icon.



Now when I try to upload, the Gif folder is not there. It's the same for anything with the lock symbol.
If the images don't show up, here are some links:

I'm not sure exactly what's going on there but I'd guess there's some sort of security thingy enabled on that GIFs file. Have you tried saving your gifs to a different file and uploading from there?

I already tried that. Any Gif I save ends up having that lock symbol, no matter where I save it. I tried playing around with the security settings but nothing has worked so far.

I do not know what is happening, so I am farming this one out to the rest of the forum. I made a General Help thread here.

Edit: The solution is apparently this link - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17117/remove-the-lock-icon-from-a-folder-in-windows-7/
