Hi!

I'm planning on adding an animated GIF to illustrate a blog post. It seems like the file is changed into a thumbnail when I put it into the post. In that case. the animation probably won't work? How to I keep it intact?

Also, when I have posted it, will there be any options for the user to replay it, or will it run once and then the user have to reload the whole page to see it again? In that case, can I add some code to make the Replay-option available?
Hey Susanne,

Unfortunately this isn't possible right now as there is no way to upload "gif" images via GD

But in this thread you replied that it is possible, if done in a certain way?

Hey Susanne,

Ah if you are using the original it will work because it didn't get passed to GD library for resizing. When it needs to be resized, the animation will fail.
