Screen To Gif is a free tool to record a screen animation that can be uploaded to the forum in the File Manager as an attachment (just keep the gif file under 2meg).

Just set the window size and position then hit record, you can move the window while recording, then just Save as GIF, keep it as short as possible for a file size under 2meg.

To view Animated gif files in Internet Explorer > Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - Multimedia > Check, Play Animations in webpages.

Another free application is ++ LICEcap by Cockos Incorporated ++ . Yep, that's the same folks that make the digital audio workstation, Reaper.

I believe another forum member mentioned the program in an earlier post so I don't want to imply I "discovered" it. crazy

Pipeline, thanks for this tip.

I'm not sure how to keep the resulting GIF under 2 MB, though. I saved a pretty short file (about three seconds) as quality = 10, and it was 2.7 MB. Then I changed the quality = 1, thinking that must reduce the file size, and it was still 2.7 MB. Obviously I am missing something in the settings? Thanks.

Try the FPS setting at the bottom, I have it on 9 but you can try it lower.
You don't want to do full screen capture.
If it is too big you might need to upload to a dropbox or mediafire.
Google free image hosting.
