Do gifs not work in replies any more?

[ttyymmnn]

I can't seem to link or upload.

@ttyymmnn DId you try putting it in the image tag?
You can link to them that way, but you can’t upload a moving gif from your hard drive.

I've never been able to get GIFs to work.

This has been disappointing, as the ones I've wanted to add were absolutely brilliant, on point and would have brought much to the discussion at hand.

Truly a loss for everyone here.

Seems totally reasonable, not that we're paying for server space!

@trivet Link to an actual GIF file hosted elsewhere.

@forsweden I hope that poor woman wasn't stoned for laughing...

[trivet]

Success!!!

[ttyymmnn]

@chariotoflove Tried both. Maybe just a bad link I guess. Tried two different ones tho. I’m also having to log in just about every day. But that’s a question for jminer.

@classicdatsundebate This is now the GIF party thread.

I really need to find a good place to upload my collection for future use here.

[ttyymmnn]

@trivet They worked for me in the past. I need to do more research on my end.

[davesaddiction]

@ttyymmnn Make sure the path to the image you're using actually has .gif at the end.

@trivet The link has to be to the file (ending in .gif):

Well now we actually are! We had fun shitting all over Kinja for its inadequacies, but it should be recognized that we got unlimited server space and free hosting the whole time.

Well, that’s three attempts and three failures. I’m not old enough to be this useless with technology, but here we are.

Okay got it!

What am I doing wrong?
