Animated Gifs being mangled into jpegs?

Hey, that looks familiar!

Edit: Also, glad to note that animated GIFs in user cards are still active.

So linked gifs work, but not locally uploaded ones?

Linked gifs can’t be resized and or edited. Also, links go away.

Prefer stand alone gifs. Choosy moms choose unlinked gifs.

Brave gave me the blank square. Chrome showed the gif.

Nope, Ru had been doing the American Music Show for years prior to being in that video…

Both before and after he went to NYC.

Well call me misinformed!

Miss-informed would be a good stage name.

There might be an issue with the tenor gif thingie not displaying properly? @fiddlingfrog also noted issues seeing the gifs from the tenor search thingie…

Doesn’t seem a problem with ones that are uploaded?

To add to this I’ve only noticed the blank squares in the last few days (only on my ipad). I’m pretty sure, though I can’t state positively, that the Tenor clips did show up on my ipad right after they were introduced.

I’m putting two gifs here the first from tenor, the second uploaded…

Laptop: both display fine.
Ipad: blank square for the first, second one shows up.

edit: I primarily use Safari on the ipad but I also checked with Chrome and Firefox. Same results.

A few days ago many of yours were blank but they seem to have mended since.

@Mindysan33 Your gif post just now to me in the 2020 elect thread is blank. :man_shrugging:

houston

btw I noticed that sometimes the autoscale is knocking down gifs to 0 x 0 which would appear blank.

In that case, I think I just uploaded a gif that was too large.
