Shockernet Migration Coming Soon

It appears gifs still aren't "giffing". No matter how they are put in.

Are you getting an error or they just don't show up something else?

Direct copy and paste did not work, but loading it through the image button in the toolbar does work for me now.

Hmm, I'm able to direct copy/paste GIFs. Maybe it's the specific GIF you are trying?

[ShockBand]

The one I just did used the image button next to the video button. I'm sure the attachment upload works too.

Using the Upload from URL button below the text box works too.

Seems none of my direct copy and paste will animate. Let me try another browser here in a bit.

[Kung Wu]

Ooooh this is a problem with animation???

Okay now I understand more the way you were trying to do it. Let me see if I can figure that out after I fix the GIF issue.

It might be a "total file size" thing within a single post.

All these were done in a Firefox browser, my others in Chrome. Edit: Did the uncheck of "Retrieve remote file" on the last one and it now works.

Last one I unchecked "Retrieve remote file". I will edit the one above in Firefox and see what happens.

I had quit trying. Seems like JVShocker was doing it differently than me and had success of more than 3, but he now says he's restricted to 3 images per post. I copy the images to a file, resize them with photoshop to a more standard size and resolution for quality, then just "Upload Attachments" for each one. I just do a second post for more pics.

Believe me, I appreciate your commitment to perfection...

Test...simple copy and paste, I don't see "giffing". I'll try again with Kung Wu suggestions.

Can't get the "upload attachments" icon (1) to work and then open up the "upload attachments" link (2)... icon acts like a dead link? Using Microsoft Edge if that matters?

No biggie...

OK. So maybe this is it?? Followed the instructions. Worked great. Just have to download the gif image to the computer and then upload from the computer. My first attempt was rejected because of "exceeding maximum size - I think 2mb." It makes it more work to post gifs, which sux. I was so used to just "copy" and "paste" from pinterest, giphy, wherever. Guess that makes me lazy.

I'll try it on the cell in a sec and see what happens. Thanks for all the work behind the scenes everyone.
