NOW I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT'S NOT EMBEDDING (AT LEAST THAT I CAN SEE) OK. I've had trouble with stuff from giphy as well. I didn't think they were ever embedding. Then I got a couple to work but now they don't seem to work again. I'm kind of assuming they're blocking something on their side but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment

NOW I TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT'S NOT EMBEDDING (AT LEAST THAT I CAN SEE) giphy.com embeds their gifs in a shell, so what you're seeing/quoting is actually a movie (typically but not always an MP4 file), not a gif. The gif itself is hidden in the code of the website. There are a few different ways you can get the actual gif out of that page, but it depends on the browser you're using. A google search for your browser should show you how to snag the gif you want. When you get it, I would recommend hosting it on an image hosting site like Imgur so you don't lose it if giphy decides to delete the gif you're using. That way you always retain a copy of your own. 1 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 I posted the same URL, though. Had to double check. I'm not sure why it didn't just paste the first time. I think it's the rich text editor. Sometimes it's so rich, it thinks it knows it's a URL and pastes the whole A HREF shebang. So selecting the (rich text) URL from the above post and copy/pasting won't work: https://media.giphy.com/media/V8CrTQZX1GqFa/giphy.gif But pasting it into a plain text editor, copying that, and pasting it back here does: knapp's right that if you go to this URL in the browser, you'll be shown a web page with an mp4. 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 When we first upgraded the board software in August there was a toggle to switch between Rich and Plain Text. I would really like to see that come back. Quote Link to comment
