Tenor GIF search not loading more GIFs

Contribute Bug

AI-generated summary

Users reported that the Tenor GIF search in the composer fails to load more GIFs when scrolling, affecting both desktop and mobile. The issue was confirmed across multiple platforms, including Meta and a forum using GIPHY. A fix was proposed in a pull request (#105), which resolved the problem for some users. Further improvements were made to address extra scrollbars on desktop, with a second fix (#106) released. The team acknowledged the issue and provided updates, with a resolution now in progress.

Here’s what’s happening:

  • When I open the composer and click GIF, the Tenor popup shows up fine.

  • I type any word (for example: happy).

  • It only shows a small set of GIFs.

  • When I scroll down, nothing new loads – it just stops.

  • If I change the keyword, I still get about the same number of GIFs, and scrolling still doesn’t load more.

Tested on:

  • Desktop Chrome (Windows)

  • Google Pixel 7 Pro (Chrome, Android)

Same behavior on both, so it looks like the Tenor integration isn’t fetching/refreshing more results when you scroll.

I have noticed the same here on Meta (I think Tenor is used here too) and on my forum which currently uses GIPHY. Loading more GIFs on scroll seems to be broken.

Confirmed, this is pretty buggy at the moment:

Double scrollbar and not “loading more”

We will see if we can improve it a bit over the upcoming weeks.

Thank you.

I updated the component and, to my delight, I no longer have to choose from the first results.

Thanks @saquetim, fix looks great. I noticed some extra scrollbars on desktop, large window size, added a fix for that here: UX: Fix GIF modal width and height by pmusaraj · Pull Request #106 · discourse/discourse-gifs · GitHub
