I meant adding a GIF icon to the forums to make it easier for the internet illiterate. I find it easier to reply with GIF's to express my emotions due to my autism. Thanks. __________________ #ActuallyAutistic |

Do you know about the extended list of emoticons @SybilMarie? If you're looking for those, look to the box of emoticons to the right of a long reply ("post reply"). Click on the word More to open a great, big page of emoticons.

SybilMarie, if you would like me to explain how I upload a gif to the forum, I invite you to PM me. I will explain the process, step by step. It seems complicated the first few times, but it gets easy and quick as you practice

There isn't the plugin available unfortunately. We had a lead on a developer who might've been able to help, but unfortunately nothing came from that effort. Sorry.

Believe it or not, thanks to ChatGPT-4, I was able to get the AI to write a basic plugin that enables GIPHY gifs to be searched for and added to your post.
Right now, during testing, this only works in the default template (Blue responsive). And it only works on the Quick Reply box (not when you "go advanced"). This "Search for GIFs" field is right below the quick reply form. Type a keyword in there to pull up a bunch of animated GIFs related to what you're interested in posting. Then click on the image you want to add to your post. That's all there is to it. __________________ Don't throw away your shot. |

Once we're certain this isn't breaking other things, we'll try adding it to the other forum themes.... try it out and let me know what you think!

Doc John, I gave my feedback in the thread in the social forum, but will provide it here to since you asked.
From a personal perspective I don't care for the Responsive Blue skin so I will most likely not use the GIFT option for now. I have one concern about the GIFs available. Some of the searches I did came up with images I felt were inappropriate for MSF. They related to drugs/alcohol or violence. I foresee the potential for problems. Like I said, I don't plan to use the GIFs much myself, just providing my two cents worth. Came back to add that I just noticed the GIF option is now available for other skins. My feedback still stands. |
