Main question, I can't find a site that hosts these links as a gif, even after a google image search, so I can't use it in [img] can someone post it or suggest how to.

Second question, what's up with imgur etc that does host gif but they show up as video on the iPhone?

Eta: Twitter doesn't host gifs either, guess bc within the app it's doesn't need to?

take away special characters and add .gif to any imgur URL and you should get it.

i.e: https://i.imgur.com/BwiXL0B.gif

the photobucket one, click the "view image" icon (magnifying glass upper right) it pulls the gif URL

long story short, all actual gifs have to have an image source .gif file somewhere, no matter how the host tries to hide it in the url.

Thanks

This one doesn't work on my phone

But if that's the address in the [img] I can see it, kinda weird.
No worries though, I can use the imgur link.
