Cant post gif file to community post

@Steve
@Aleksi

Just let you know, I became unable to upload image/gif file to here in this community post when I m attempt to put file on my post. Possibly I reached to some limitation imposed by admin of this site.

Did you get an error of any sort?

Escalated, as I don’t have privileges needed to investigate or resolve this.

@JCadence @Peter

No error.
I paste file and save, no warning etc.
Simply not rendering anything after that.

I just simply paste the url copied from public link. Seems to be working?

Weird enough.

Sounds like new rule to limit the file size could have been imposed on the background.

Not exactly sure when it started, as I have been quiet in community for a while, but i noticed it today.

Strange, don’t believe any limits have changed, and GIFs are still allowed as a file type.
