Can anyone advise how users can post gifs or movies. For example if I try to post https://i.imgur.com/6PA1B1b.mp4 using the Other Media > insert image from UL option, the dialog goes red, but without helper text I am unsure what the problem is.

Additionally the thread has pages of gifs and movie clips posted for many years, that are still visible, but now it seems it is not possible to post these? You can see the issue at https://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?/topic/34562-gif-thread/page/14/ where there are many successful posts up to 2018, then lately users cannot make such posts?

The problem is that that link redirects to https://imgur.com/6PA1B1b to ask if you're over 18 to see it. Since the code doesn't get back the expected headers for a video, it doesn't auto-embed.

And on this end, doesnt appear to even load at all. 

It loads fine here Marc, it's not unsafe, but the age check that terabyte noticed will be the reason its not posting, which is fair enough.

If its not loading at all in some locations, this would also potentially cause issues unfortunatly.
