How do I post a gif?

Since we are talking nerdly things, when I post a GIF it also includes the whole address link with it while everyone else seems to just be able to post a GIF without the address connected. What gives?

<div style="width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:100%;position:relative;"><iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/j2Brn3luUP7BxLdgvB" width="100%" height="100%" style="position:absolute" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe></div><p><a href="">via GIPHY</a></p>

If you're trying to post an image or gif from your own device, then you need to use something like Postimages.com (link below). There is no account needed for Postimages.com. I think Imgur might work too, but I don't have direct experience with that.

Post Image — Postimages

postimg.cc

When you upload your image or gif to Postimages.com it will generate a link that you can add to your post (see below). Copy & Paste that link to your post & your image or gif should appear. Easy peazy, lemon squeezy.

Yes, works the same way with imgur.com. You create a free acct, then go to your acct, click on new post, copy and paste a url to the image you want to use from an online source or upload from your computer, then post. You can choose to post to public or hidden. Either way, you can then grab the direct link to the image, gif, or whatever and paste that link here.

Easy peasy, never queasy.

Might be a link/file format issue.

If the pic link doesn't end in .gif or .jpg or the like, then this site's image tool won't accept it.
