June 8, 20232 yr Author comment_634492 It appears that this blocking that Twitter is doing is slowly making its way through the internet. Here is an article of how embedding tweets has started affecting many Wordpress sites as well. https://twittercommunity.com/t/wordpress-fails-to-embed-tweets/194433 At some point, when embeds are blocked everywhere, maybe Twitter will fix it.
June 9, 20232 yr comment_634510 I thought GIFs were on here before. I have the sad face as I do not see the GIF option in my toolbar.

In the support forums for the board software, there are many other communities experiencing similar issues, though it isn't affecting everyone. The consensus seems to be that Twitter is blocking a range of IP addresses, which the server for this board got included in (anyone's guess into how they determined what those ranges would be). It is likely caught up in something similar to this. Will continue to monitor, but not much more I can do on my end at this point. DAMMIT ELON
June 11, 20232 yr comment_635768 Twitter is dead to me and even Musk losing billions in value is of little comfort.
November 17, 20231 yr comment_675962 Can someone show how one can post GIFs on here? Explain it to me like I am 5 years old.

If you find an animated gif off of google or some other page click on it to open it up. Once the picture it is open and animating on your browser, right click on the picture and go to "copy image address" or "copy image link" , then come back here and on the bottom right of the message you should see "insert image from URL". Click that button and then right click and select paste. It should paste the link for your gif into the box. Click the button to insert into post. And that should be it.

You can skip the last step and directly paste the link in the body of the post using ctrl+v and the forum will automatically render the gif. Edited November 17, 20231 yr by Wanna-B-Fanboy
November 17, 20231 yr comment_675976 Thanks guys, I got it to work on my laptop but its not working on my Samsung cell. I can copy/ paste the link however the Insert image from URL box turns pink and doesn't send the link.
November 17, 20231 yr comment_675979 I post gifs from an android phone all the time - Samsung or Pixel but you don't have to use that box. Just paste the link in the with the rest of your text. I have noticed is that sometimes when I paste the link, I have to hit enter (like to create a new paragraph) or the page won't recognize the text as a link. A little message will pop up saying your link has automatically been embedded and the gif will show up.
November 17, 20231 yr comment_676002 Some sites will create a link that the site doesn't recognize or like, with the button in the bottom right corner it will notify you that the link isn't valid.
November 17, 20231 yr comment_676014 interesting "Meta has sold animated-gif search engine Giphy to Shutterstock for $53m (£42m), despite paying $400m for it just three years ago."

Yup, I always open the image itself in a new tab so I can copy that info rather than user a site-generated link. Some files aren't actually GIFs either, they could be webp files or some other animated image, and that can also be an issue for the site. I try to stick to images in actual gif format.

I find that if I "open in new tab in group" the gif in a new tab in my phone, copy the url of that tab and paste that into the post- that usually helps.

Maybe the MODs can somehow just pin this answer somewhere so anyone can review it when needed?
