@zack54attack any word on the gif posting problems we've seen lately?

IMGUR, MakeaGif, Giphy.... nothing seems to actually work when you post it.

GIPHY should work. This is posted with Giphy using the media button:

Weird, when I tried Giphy yesterday it kept giving me the box with the X.

Any idea why all of a sudden we have these issues with gifs on CCS for other hosting?

I can't post any gifs via the IMG tag.

If there's limitations I don't mind... I just want to know so I stop making/posting gifs on CCS if they aren't going to post.

Did you paste it in the media button? or inserted the IMG tag yourself?

I have a tool so I can gif any video, save them to my laptop, and then I upload them for hosting on IMGUR.

Got it. I figured out MakeAGif. The problem with that site is that it does not have an embed code, so it cannot be embedded onto the site.

I'm looking into Imgur right now. Can you try GIPHY and show me what comes up?

Here posted as media.... but it used to post like any other image and suddenly it won't.

Did something change with the site or is something broken?

Seems to be working for this gif at least?

It gave me the same Red X like IMGUR yesterday.

Update: @Ares @Adipost

So looks like some gifs from MakeAGif work. But the ones Adi has uploaded do not for some reason. Still working on trying to find out way. Could be a size thing?

Maybe try Imgur or Giphy for now to see if that works?

Thx zack!

IMGUR has been working more normally lately.

If you find out there are size limitations can you let us know?

Yeah, checking back at a bunch of my older posts and literally none of the GIFs work anymore.
