Hello everyone. It's been a while since I've joined this site but despite my best efforts I couldn't solve one problem.

I want to upload gif pic on my public profile but instead of showing actual gif pic, the site upload only the link of gif.
I don't know what am I doing wrong. Is it because I'm using a wrong gif link or what?
Please help 😣

With love, Lotus <3

P.S Sorry if reading my post was was little difficult. English isn't my first language and I'm trying to improve it slowly.

Hi Lotus!

What is the code you're using? Gif images can be displayed like any other image, but the URL has to end in .gif.
Code:
[img]http://www.site.com/yourimage.gif[/img]

If the URL doesn't end with .gif then it can't be displayed. Without the img code it also won't show up. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately it didn't work. I tried to do as you told me thousand times. Does it has problem with giphy.com as I'm trying to upload the gif from it. :(
I'm pretty sure giphy doesn't allow hotlinking. Only their very outdated iframe setup, which won't work on RPR.

You'll need to save the gif and upload it somewhere else (imgur) and link from there.

Okay then, I'll try it uploading gif from some other site. Thanks.
