A GIF file that I had uploaded before the forums-change now snows up only as a non-moving thumb.  In the original post, I was able to make a full-sized and moving image abvoe the thump by selecting 'open image in new tab' and copying that url directly back into the post, above the small image.

 

The version now only showed the thunb and the full-sized link had disappeared.  I 'opened the image in a new tab' but it was only the same unmoving thumb image.  I removed the 'thumb' from the url and the tab-page played the full image.  I copied that url back into my original post and used the editor to insert it into the position of the missing full-image.

 

The gif-links to external urls do work in old posts.  Copied from one =  https://media.giphy.com/media/ftGTY1fO9ARUI/giphy.gif  pasted in, but will it show the full gif?   "Insert Other Media" did not allow it to be inserted via URL.  Perhaps that is not allowed in this subforum...

 

Trying "embed code" <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/ftGTY1fO9ARUI" width="480" height="365" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/charlie-chaplin-movie-ftGTY1fO9ARUI">via GIPHY</a></p>

@RedBaird Because it's a .webp format at https://media.giphy.com/media/ftGTY1fO9ARUI/giphy.gif

Forum supports .gif no problem as you can see it's the one you posted but directly downloaded https://giphy.com/gifs/charlie-chaplin-movie-ftGTY1fO9ARUI/download "source"

Yes, I ran Chrome "Inspection" and then saw the "webp" in the 'source'.  I copied that link and opened it in another tab.  I replaced the ".webp" with ".gif" and here it is.

 

... now the page inspector finds ...

Here I am trying the "media" copy link and paste : https://media.giphy.com/media/ftGTY1fO9ARUI/giphy.gif  = Fail at direct paste.

 

Interesting 'thing' # 3 or 4(?)  When I download Aniky's images, they download as "giphy.gif", but when I open them in a new tab and try to DL them from there, they DL as "giphy.webp", even though the address-bar shows them as a ".gif".  :tee_hee:  (and the same with Shana's image, but a little different "5ac34bfae8165_HappyBlackAndWhiteGIF-source.gif.e1f862dc7054846542d404209dd7991f.gif"  :D
