Why is it really difficult to get GIFs to embed on here now?

How do you get GIFs to embed from sites like giphhy, gfycat, tenor, etc?

Used to be able to just open them in a new tab and copy the URL into image tags but it doesn't work anymore.

Reply - Tap Insert - Tap Media - Enter URL from giphy for example.

Hmmmmmm cheers, where is the first "Insert"? I've just got buttons to insert image and insert link, nothing that seems to generate this media tag. Are you on a phone or a computer?

Basing it off computer, when replying "insert" is on the panel, shown as 3 dots and a dropdown arrow "..."

Hmmmmm I don't know if this is a problem with Giphy or here? Are you able to embed this, for example?

Oh wtf? All I had to there was just post the link no tags or nothing?!

 

[TractorBoys]

Use GIF link not the short link...

Via Insert or simply dropped the link?

Cheers! Appreciate that. Maybe I've been over complicating it haha.
