Animated GIFs are broken by the proxy used to increase privacy
You better post them as links until it's fixed

yes, img is correct (with square brackets)

Unfortunately, the bitcointalk website is now uses a proxy for some reason, so multiple different image hosts are no longer working correctly. This is because someone was using "image counters" (pixel-type or otherwise) in a recent incident... except it was something perhaps a bit worse (the pixel / tracking / counter image method was being used to leak people's IP addresses and such, and perhaps even some other "unspecific things which are bad" described by at least on forum admin as "an attack")

I'll be clicking "report this post" on the thread to get an admin comment (I've encountered at least 6 threads in the past 24 hours with broken images which normally work fine, but not through the proxy. The collateral damage from this proxy is PERHAPS worse than the alleged attacks, but I can't say for certain because I don't have all the details)

Well... Broken gifs/images are not really as damaging as tracking IPs through PMs

Proxy is there to prevent 'tracking pixels'.

For the love of God -  :D Eye Bleach needed!

I see some posts with animated gifs - how do they do them?
