Trouble uploading animated GIF file to forum

[Klapaucius]

I use IMGUR for images and have had no problems in the past.

I was trying to post in the tech support forum about my bouncing landing gear issue. I created a GIF file to demonstrate the issue, but I cannot seem to upload it, no matter what URL I use, be it right clicking and copying the image address or using the options IMGUR provides.   The best I managed was a static thumbnail.  I see others have done it, so what am I doing incorrectly?

I've always used Giphy for gifs.

Imgur gif.

 

Using the direct image (r-click "View Image" ) and copying to the forums seems fine....

Thanks for the help. I made it work. It looks like the problem was my GIF was too large.

Check this out:

On the top, is my original image. Notice the URL options on the side.

On the bottom is a lower resolution version of the image.  Notice I now have additional options, including "original GIF link".

 

So, using the "original GIF link" option, I was able to upload it. 

 

Thanks for the help and proving it was possible. It forced me to rethink this.

Cheers.
