Noticed this morning that any animated gifs when uploaded are being turned into jpegs. Anyone know why? @orenwolf? I’ve posted an example below… the m0ist gif I always post…
What will we do if Caitlin doesn’t say m0ist for us?!?
It appears that this is a feature intended to convert higher-bandwidth image types to jpeg to make downloading image-heavy posts easier, however it overlooked animated gifs:
I’ve disabled the feature until the Discourse folks have a fix.
Should be a fix relatively soon (within hours?), so I wouldn’t go too nuts changing a bunch of settings that will need to be reverted to defaults later.
