- krapp 12y agoTechnically, it will let you post them as links, it just won't upload and embed them. But a plugin or a userscript would fix that, provided they're posted somewhere with an easy to deal with API like imgur.
- Omniusaspirer 12y agoI'm hoping this is sarcasm since I don't think I've seen a single intelligent discussion in my life that was helped along by a funny GIF. Not to say there's anything wrong with funny GIF's, but I come to HN exactly because it moderates away that sort of stuff.

- mring33621 12y agoYou forgot them again.
- mikeash 12y agoIf only you could post animated GIFs, then you could have added one that indicated sarcasm.

- digi_owl 12y agoThere is a reason why i have a extension installed in Firefox just for the ability to say when a gif is to play.
