Ooookay this'll probably be a really easy answer but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get images/gifs to show up in forum replies and I love responding in gifs so this is truly tragic for me.

Thanks y'all! 

It's an img code in html!

< img src="https://i.imgur.com/VGUppHB.gif" >

without the spaces next to the angle brackets :D

PS: that gif is this:

thanks mangoo :)

Theres something you can add to that so you can limit the size of the picture too but I've forgotten it. Any help? (Useful if a picture is mahoosive).

< img src="https://i.imgur.com/VGUppHB.gif" width="500px" height="auto" >

You can change the width to make sure it doesn't stretch the post and then the height will auto-adjust so the original ratio dimensions don't change (aka it gets "smooshed").

OMG it worked! Thank you, Mango!! :D
