@cards10 I usually just go to the code box (click on the </> icon) and type in <img src="link"> where link is the link to the gif. That's the only way I ever figured out how to do it.

@dukestar5 I can only post pics, can't for the life of me get gifs @fishsticks-n-custard I thought the code box was the key... until I fail at that too Leaving my embarrassment below in case someone knows how to fix it
@jrm_14 that's what mine looked like when I followed the original directions too! Got a semi colon that I didn't put there. Let me know if you figure it out
I think maybe you need to use the link to the image that has .gif at the end. If you're on Giphy there's a link on the side that says "Copy link" click on that, then copy the text in the box next to "Gif link" and use that as the link in <img src="link">
@jrm_14 since we may be in the same boat, here's how I was finally able to do it (stolen from someone on page 7 of this crazy long thread:
Giphy.com has a mobile app which makes it SO much easier. Once you find a gif you like you can save it to your phone. Then when you're in the edit box on TB, go to the picture icon and select 'Choose Files'. That option should bring you to your pictures album, you just select the saved gif and then it will load into your post.
@crossfitbabybump The easiest way I've found to do it then is to go to the code portion of the text box (click on the </> icon in the toolbar above the box). Then type in <img src="link"> but replace link with the link directly to the gif you want (link should end in .gif). Keep the quotation marks where they are. Click the </> again to go back to the normal text box and you should see your gif displayed.
Also, I agree with @adirat above. You didn't really make many friends on this board before under your previous username. If you want to keep practicing your gif skills, it's probably best to do it in your own BMB. Otherwise, and I doubt you mean it this way, it could be viewed as trying to stir stuff up in TTGP. I really doubt that's your intention. Just some friendly advice.

@fishsticks-n-custard thank you! and no I'm not trying to stir up anything! didn't realize I was in this board at all I just clicked on "how to GIF" in my board and it brought me here. Sorry! and I'm sorry for what I said, it was truly never my intentions to hurt anyone. I honestly had no idea what I was doing or where I was posting. I know now that there are rules and I hadn't read them, so I apologize again to whomever I hurt. I wish you all nothing but the best and pray for you. Thank you again for your help

How nice of you to come back to TTGP. You couldn't do this in your BMB?
So for instance, with the gif you were trying with I would type:
<img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/Joeei2xRG0uyc/giphy.gif">
Make sense?
