How to post GIF files

[Mad Trapper]

Titles says it all.

When I try to post a GIF, it downloads as a JPEG (Picture).

What am I doing wrong?

As long as it shows up . . . what's the problem???

Most likely an automatic thing . . . selecting only a few formats to display . . . converting everything to them to make things smoother and easier.

May God bless,
Dwight

Pastor Dwight, it shows up as JPEG so does not play, just a picture.

There's a difference between GIFs and Animated GIFs. It might be this forum's software converts it into something that works here, i.e. JPEG.
IF you ever see an animated GIF on here, click Reply with Quote and see if the coding is revealed - then use it to modify yours.

Other than that - I got nothing.

Mrs Slippy has some sort of a Magnetic Field around her that will sure enough mess up electronics/computers/cell phones/tv's/vehicles etc...

I'm pretty sure it's her fault. :behindsofa:

Gif's work here.
Download it.
Load it on a picture host like imgur then post the link.
Easy peasy.

I have the gif files on HD. Prefer not to have to download to a web host.

Method I spoke of is how I post .gif files here. Works every time.
