MGo 3.1 Gifs Work Posbang
Copying and pasting GIFs now works with the site upgrade. What's your favorite sports GIF? And why is it the deflating raptor?
(We'll see if it works in an OP...)

I've tried but for some reason, I can't get your gif to embed (i keep getting a message that I'm blocked). But I was able to get this one to work on the phone if you want to try (though I am using an iphone). Here are the steps:
1. go to this giphy: https://giphy.com/gifs/news-i-like-turtles-zombie-kid-lXiRoPt9Rkzt7yLYY (make sure you have the desktop version, not the mobile version of the website)
2. click on the "<> embed" button next to it (you'll only see this if you are on the desktop version of the site).
3. then click on "copy code" to copy the embed link (not the browser link).
4. go to MGoBlog
5. click the source (<>) button in the comment box.
6. paste the embed link that you copied from the giphy site.
That worked for me. But for some reason, I can't get it to work for the turtle gif that you are trying to work with. In fact, I haven't been able to get this to work for any gifs from tenor. Luckily, you can usually find the same gifs on both sites.

I don't think you can link directly to some tenor gifs. This one works:

Pepper,
That worked. I've never been able to get tenor gifs to work. How did you get to that link?

@Blue@LSU,
Google image search, and right click on the image in the preview pane and make sure the image loads OK in it's own window. Then use the URL in the separate window. It's hit or miss. I don't know how to do this on mobile Chrome, though.

I have a separate but related issue. I can't delete old gifs from my gallery, I'd really like to add some new ones, but I can't get rid of the old ones to create file space.

Carlo Colaiacovo is sad to not have been invited to the best gif party
