Stupid question and probably for the tech board, but how do you post a gif from giphy?

I have no problems copying gif links from other sites... But the giphy link I get when I copy the image link from them never works for me.

Is there something easy I'm missing?

Open the image again in a new tab, then copy and paste.

Yeah giphy is a POS. I usually follow my search terms with "imgur."

But yeah as mentioned, you have to do the "open image in New tab" thing TWICE when you're on giphy.

Same Here. I suggested that once on the help board and everyone lost their minds. Apparently tiger droppings is the greatest forum ever, nothing ever needs to change.

I'd rather embedded videos, but yeah, this would be nice too.
