That's part of their financial model, they want you going to their site so they get the ad revenue. You'll have to find another site which allows a link to the actual gif. Oh Fair. I seem to have a solution now with long pressing on a gif, copying it and popping it into an address bar and then copying that, seems to do the trick. 1 Link to comment

0 Mark Albrighton Posted January 13 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13 Probably (definitely) should go in the site issues thread. But some gif websites are trickier to post the url of the gif link. I don’t know why, it just is. Gifer used to be good, but it’s gone. I have experienced the problem with Tenor as displayed above. @Tayls, download the GIPHY app, everything becomes much, much easier if you do that. 1 Link to comment

I’ve raised it in the site issues thread as well. Find it super annoying! Link to comment

You do normally need to do a back space after posting the link (posted straight into the message) . Then press return after a quick delay and make sure the gif appears before saving. Or save yourself a shit load of money and get an android phone Also, see if you can download the SwiftKey keyboard on Apple as that has the virtual gif button.

0 sidcow Posted January 13 VT Supporter Share Posted January 13 I don't post any links as plain text. Just paste as copied, no issues. On phone, tablet and laptop. But I still can hardly ever post links to images Link to comment
