Not a bug Uploading GIF issues

[Russ]

Affected version

2.1

So when I attempt to upload certain gif's, as it's uploading the gif does show working in the editor but once it's done uploading it won't actually start, it's a still image.

Upload directly to XF: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/gif-test.159519/

Ended up just uploading to my site:

XF 1.5 - Hide a forum for everyone but a select group?

I have searched and tried a few things but I can't quite seem to get this right... We have a BST (Classified) section of our forum. This is currently available to view by any one, but no posting is available until you have made x number of posts and been a member forx number of days. This works...

xenforo.com

Same image, working image is linked offsite while the broken one is uploaded.

Am I missing something here ?

Windows 10
Chrome Version 71.0.3578.98 (Official Build) (64-bit)

NM, looks like it was talked about here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/animated-gif-is-become-a-static-gif-when-attached.156321/

We don’t have Imagick enabled here and even so, GIFs are pretty awful.

You’ll likely be able to upload a GIF as long as it isn’t more than 1280px wide because that’s when we start resizing images.

We’d recommend recording your screen straight to video and uploading that tbh.
