I noticed last night that the “cackling intensifies” GIF I picked from Tenor is also appearing as blank on my iPad (running iOS 14).

I haven’t had problems with seeing them, and I’m running a thinkpad with some Red Hat OS. It seems like maybe this is a problem on apple products? 
Those two are working on both PC and Apple platforms here. 
Some of the ones you’ve posted recently work, some do not. Maybe it’s the humidity?

In the fall? 
It was almost 70 here in the DC area and humid just the other day!
Today, not so much.

They work on my desktop (both Firefox and Safari on Mac), so it’s apparently something specific to iOS. At a guess, some kind of weird encoding problem, since “gif” no longer means “a file that conforms to the GIF87a or GIF89a standards” and is now just a container with any number of video files backing it.

The two above work on an iPad. At least 15 mins ago.

Well, that’ll teach me to talk about something I noticed last night without re-checking it today, 'cause it just came up on my iPhone.

It’s an odd bug. Hers are not the only ones posted that are not displaying correctly.

It’s anything from Tenor - shows up as a blank area that I can copy from Safari and drop into Chrome to see what it is. Pretty annoying.

In the world of strange image behaviours, I’ve noticed for at least a couple of months that the images in the most recent post or two of a busy thread are broken when I open the thread, but working if I revisit the thread at some later time.
Being in Europe, I’d idly wondered if it was a cdn issue.
Don’t recall having noticed it in the past few days, but it’s been common enough that I might have ignored it .
How about this? I went directly to the website and here is a link from there directly:
Okay, now I can’t even see that with a direct link. [ETA] Oh wait, I can see it as a little video once I saved the comment.
Here it is from the embed thingie:
I can see the second one, but I’m guessing it’s still a problem for you?
I tried saving from tenor and uploading, but the blessed thing is 9mb…

I can see both here, but I can’t see your first gif at comment 34.

Was broken earlier, is working now.

Am I the only one still seeing an occasional instance of this? It seems to be video related, since when I long-press the still image, Save video appears.
(It seems to be my modified Chromium browser on mobile. If I bring up the stock Chrome browser, the video works fine.)
Edit: and now it’s working for me. Maybe my tablet is acting up?
