I have a gif of me shooting a rabbit.

I made the gif from my phone video.

When I try to upload it as a figure, it says file extension error.

Is there any way we can upload gifs without going through a third party?

I know you can upload gifs to media at gold+ level, but I believe you can only attach jpg or png to a post if you are bronze. That's why it's rejecting it.

Good to know, I'm up for renewal soon so maybe I'll splurge

They are GIFs on my PC, and open on my PC as GIFs.
But once uploaded, they only contain the first frame image.

 
Why do you toy with us GoatBoy ?
Please refund me for Gold account funds by sending me 87 BFL stickers.


they don't "GIF" in my media either.



also, why do you hate contrasting button fonts?

Gifs only upload from the media manager

I'll be damned. It worked.


I actually spend a bit of time pointing out and requesting correction of poor UI at the software company where I work.
This issue has two....
1. Almost no one knows it is available
2. Why not from within the post image upload, where ti is used 99% of the time?

How about metadata sorting of uploaded images and actual management?

they only sort from date uploaded

I have a cool image on page 177 from June of 2020

in 3 weeks it will be on page 198

Most used
date oldest first
date newest first
size
type
duplicates

need a better way once sorted to bulk move into subdirectories

Thanks GB

While you're in here, something I've always liked in "BugZilla" which we used a long time ago is a feature for titles where it shows you a list of similar titles, as you are typing your title, and displays them as links that you can open to review the thread.  
I know this doesn't fix terrible thread title names like "OMG you won't believe this" but it might go a long way toward helping with dupes. If you really wanted to get tricky, yoou could include OP text body in the search results, too. (still only displaying the thread title, though - not the text body)

Gotcha, just sorting options on media files.

Will you also consider looking at the code for inserting an image into your post edit?
When you upload an image with the "ATTACH IMAGE" button while using WYSIWYG, it inserts the image at the top left corner of your post draft, rather than inserting the image where your cursor is currently located.
But, if you use the [BBCODE] button, it inserts the image TAG correctly where your cursor is currently located.
