I have noticed the last two gifs I have seen here on Meta are static images. It caused the animation to be a single frame, and thus create some [very funny](https://meta.discourse.org/t/replygif-browsing-and-adding-reaction-gifs-easily/14936/71) but also [very disturbing](https://meta.discourse.org/t/paid-plugin-9gag-clone-for-discourse/28075/11) freeze-face reactions.

I’m running the latest stable Chrome and turned off all extensions to eliminate variables specific to my ux. Still the same behavior.

On further page-sourcing, I notice Sully is a png but sausage-slap lady is a gif, yet no animation (I am guessing animation was the intention; the ReplyGIF thread’s context is a big tipoff that an animated gif was implied to actually _be_ there.)
