Hello, I can see it on my side

Hi !

I am using giphy for my GIF, as they are a little heavy for the regular importation. What happen when you are clicking on it ?
Is there the only thread you can’t see the GIF ?

Clear your cache and temp files, CTRL+F5, try incognito, different browsers and if nothing works then your ISP is probably timing out during heavy loading or has blocked the host website.

i can see gif on front page thumbnails that’s why i opened that post but not able to see in post.

I had the problem that twitter gifs/videos would not be played and the fix was to disable hardware acceleration for media in my browser. maybe this is something you can try on your side.

I have a related issue recently: I still see all GIFs/MP4s in old posts, but when I add a new link it doesn’t show the preview/player anymore. Here is for example a GIF which is not previewed…

while exactly the same link was used in this older post from me and still does work:

Anyone has a solution for that?

SOLUTION FOUND (thx @Saiel!)

Add a little “i.” to the imgur URL and it works again! So, instead of this URL (which gets copied into the clipboard if you click “Copy Link” on the imgur website)…
