How to post a GIF or a link or a Tweet .....

With Rich Editor the best practice to posting the gif is to copy the gif url (1), paste it in the text field(2), and then hit enter to smart embed the gif(3), and then post (4).
1.)
2.)
3.)
4.)
Comments
Tweets and links and YouTube embeds should all work the same way.

I did what you suggested but all it did was embed the link. You'd have to click the link to see what I was trying to embed as a gif.
In other words I still have no idea how to embed a gif.
Once pasted, click on "Enter" and see if that brings it up. Not sure about phone keyboards though...
How I did it: I went to the website (clicked on your link given above ^^) and then R-clicked on the image, and saved it. I then went to the Image button, found the saved gif and processed it. 😃 No longer animated, though. 😪
Sometimes a gif, isn't a gif. One must look a gif link in the mouth. ??
Yeah, I think we can all get GIFs onto the site, it's the animation that's gone. @JeffSentell

"Sometimes a gif, isn't a gif. One must look a gif link in the mouth. ??"
Guess you could also say it's not exactly the "Gif that keeps on Giving"
Forestalling discussion (if the animation works.)
Sigh! Hear me now, and believe me later, but this ^ is hot stuff whenever the animation is restored.
Disregard. Practice. Not sure how to do this on mobile
Been there done that have the visor.

Well, that didn't work.
Go, Dawgs!
That was quite an animated @JimWallace attempt on second down.
Cheers to you, sir.
Sooo, how did you do it? Have yet to get an animated gif to work.
The only way I ever do is by downloading the pic or gif to my desktop, When I want to drop it into my post, I click on this in the comment box at the bottom.
It drops in all my file and I choose the one I want to open. I choose and click open....
And just like this,,,you get a gif that is not animated.......😂😂
Oh Giphy I find an image I like, click on it, click "media" button, copy "source," and then paste what I've copied into this site's embed/insert media box.
Here's one I like.
I hope I've outlined the steps in a way that makes sense. I've not tried other gif material but suspect it's all much the same.
Give it a shot, gentlemen and ladies.
Go, Dawgs!
Some gifs don't work. I have no idea why not.
GIFs you copy the link/web address for work, GIFs you try to upload from your own documents don’t work.
