Optimized / Resized GIFs lose all animation, become still frames

@fysics If you have a community with high use of gifs this may be a better way to go (for both speed and storage space required):

Should Discourse convert GIFs to mp4 video files?

Just read about this neat trick that Twitter is doing with GIFs: http://blog.embed.ly/post/89265229166/what-twitter-isnt-telling-you-about-gifs Perhaps this is something Discourse would like to mimic in the future. And for the watercooler: If a video format does everything GIF does and more, and with better compression, are the days of the GIF numbered?
