Bayla, Is this just a link to the tutorial? If so, you can just post it here. If not, it may be a good idea to post the tutorial on the Member Tutorials board. Is this a tut you wrote? If not, make sure there are no copyright issues. Depending on the situation, author's permission to repost the tutorial here and/or the need to acknowledge the author may be in order. I didn't create my avatar. I get no credit for it. It came from a website which offers free animated flags. I was thinking about writing my own tutorial....I once sort of did one on EV showing how to do falling snow which I adapted from a now defunct website, but then I remembered a tutorial that someone on EV wrote showing how to do an animated gif, actually it was a countdown timer like this:  Unfortunately I did not save the tutorial before EV closed down, but maybe someone else did or maybe the person who originally posted that tutorial is hiding out here now?

I believe I recognize the tutorial you are talking about. I may even have saved it. I don't remember seeing the EV member who wrote this tutorial here in this forum. So, I don't really know how to get his/her permission to post it here. We need to be very careful about this kind of situation. If I remember it correctly, Christell was the only EV member who announced that we could use her tutorials here. Moreover, the EV Administrators/Moderators more than once expressed their concern about the "harvesting" of EV's contents.
It seems such a grey area. I wrote a basic animated gif tutorial at EV in answer to a Be Creative (#38 just for the record) where I did an animated Before & After. I also wrote one on EV to animate a kaleidoscope (Be Creative #83). Could I rework these & post in Members Tutorials here? And give examples of more complicated ones I've done?
Am I even allowed to say something like 'TonyW over at EV taught me a neat trick.....' as I did in THIS THREAD?

Certainly sharing tutorials you wrote is not only OK, it would be appreciated! And I can not imagine referring to a one step tip you saw somewhere could possibly be an issue.

Bayla,
I used to be a tutorial tester for Wendy. From my frequent conversations with her, I have the understanding that the copyright of a tutorial remains with the writer. If you wrote these tutorials, then, you can do what you please with them. There is no issue about you posting them on the Member Tutorials board here.
As far as your second question . . . this is not an issue because you are giving credit where credit is due. You are not misleading anyone by giving the impression that these tricks were your idea. I did the same back in EV and, as a matter of fact, I have already done it here. I gave the credit to you.
