- raverbashing 11y agoAh good thing, so imgur abstracts extensions apparently Better if you request with .gifv extension, then it's a much smaller (than a gif) html5 video)
- jrowley 11y agoThe only issue with gifv is that if you open one on iOS it will pause whatever music you're listening to at the time. Kind of a bummer and something that will hopefully eventually get fixed.
- myth_buster 11y agoI think that makes sense as I believe in their system the identifier will be W1X1qFI which happens to be the url/filename and is auto-generated it ignores the extension instead of throwing a 404.
