Note: you should be honest - not only here, that makes things easier. And i am pretty sure that's why nobody answered you - and that's why you did get 3 downvotes (until now). Nevertheless - i believe people can learn from mistakes - that's why i do answer.

Note2: once there was a great feature in SE: gif upload. This enriched this community a lot because you could show e.g. working examples or results. Unfortunately SE "killed" that by their latest "upgrade" which i think is more a downgrade. But that's just my personal opinion.
