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 but also very disturbing freeze-face reactions. [immagine] [immagine] I’m running the latest stable Chrome and turned off all extensions …

Here is a drag-drop animated gif that is not oneboxed [immagine] Are you certain it’s not only the ReplyGIF plugin that is broken?

So it’s onebox doing this? And no, this happened on Meta. I don’t think that plugin is installed here as of right now. My explanation was deductive reasoning with the topic’s context (a topic about gif posting) to conclude that the gif of Sully was intended to be animated. I am guessing the saus…

@purldator at least for my gif, no - I linked (intentionally) to a tiny thumbnail version rather than the full hotdog thing, imgur just takes the first frame to generate it

Thank you for that. That narrows it down to my gif and the one from the ReplyGIF plugin topic.

I don’t think Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V works for GIFs. Browser’s aren’t capable of copying an animation through the clipboard. Whatever frame was visible when you copied the image gets sent to the clipboard and when you paste it in Discourse, that gets uploaded as a PNG.

Hmmn. Interesting. But thank you for the clarification.

Yeah, it’s a shame that the clipboard is by default quite stupid, and extensions are too platform specific. On Win32 – and in theory –, it should be rather simple to register a clipboard format for arbitrary MIME types and shove entire GIFs straight through Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V, but noooo, that’s way too…

Yup, sully should have been a gif :weary:

[immagine] drag n drop, but that is just a hyperlink
