Hello I am wanting to shid post gifs or vids, but I do not do it correctly.

Adding them like you do with pictures makes gifs not show up, webms try to download as a file while also not showing up, and mp4s cause “SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected identifier “Request”. I know these problems are not site admin’s fault, as you are not JSON.

What is the correct way? So they work like the pics do. (I use web browser to access)

Thanks!

I think you can only post animated .png and still images to the blahaj server. Pretty sure catbox.moe works for gifs tho

Also using catbox.moe will help lighten the load on the blahaj servers
