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.)
Bump. 'Cause there is no reason the old way shouldn't work. So, there!
Test
Did you use Giphy (whatever) or post from a stored gif? cannot get my stored animated gifs to work.
I'll try one here
Edit: Nope

Thank you @JimWallace for the media/source tip.
Best I can figure, the "new" site needs an external link to have an animated GIF. GIPHY.COm was mentioned ^^^ but I think any will work. With giphy, if you find one without a link, one may upload it to giphy and it will prepare a link which then is a copy/paste.
This is from tenor.com
Find the link and copy and paste it.
This is from gfycat.com. Similar to giphy but must sign up to upload, but not copy.
That's awesome. Love it. Wish I could give 10 UV's.
Upload update: giphy. com (<- on purpose) requires one to have an account now, too.
