So I've been trying to add some gifs as attachments to my posts, but whenever I try to attach them they don't work. Whether I choose Update Attachment or Add Attachment, the gifs just don't work. For some weird reason, some gifs work and some don't. Any ideas?

Can you upload an example file to imgur or some other site? I'll try uploading it myself to determine what might be happening.

Here's two gifs that didn't work when I tried to attach em to my posts:

Those files are mp4 files, not gifs. Do you have gif files that aren't working? We don't allow video files to be uploaded (mp4).

Weird, when I uploaded them to imgur they were in gif form. I guess they just converted to mp4 on their own for some reason? Any other sites I should try uploading the gifs on or...

If the images are in your DeviantArt profile that's another option -- do you have a link? If not, uploading a couple images to DA should work (just verify that they're stored as gifs).

Here we go, this should work now:

Testing.

Yeah it doesn't seem to want to upload. Was this file created by you? Have you had issues uploading it elsewhere?

The first image is comprised of 52 individual frames/images -- this is probably why it's failing to upload (and may have explained the format conversion on imgur).

I saved the gifs from someone's Tumblr account, but uploading the files to stash does let me put the gifs in to the post as images rather than attachments. Problem solved, I guess!
