Forum Uploading of Animated GIFs is Broken

[clevername27]

Once again, uploading animated GIFs is broken. Some can be uploaded. But others, not.

For example, two GIFs (below) failed to upload to the HISE forum—but upload just fine to another forum. (I'm using the industry standard Camtasia.)

Example: When uploading a 9.3MB GIF, this error appears:

Example: When uploading this 1.9MB GIF, the "Submit" button becomes disabled:

May I humbly suggest one of the many Wordpress forum packages that are problem-free. Assuming the current software isn't esoteric, many packages will import the database from other packages.

@clevername27 9.3MB is a bit chonky, sometimes I see the submit button is disabled, but then I add a bit of text, or remove and readd the image and the button becomes enables.

Have you tried using LiceCap - https://www.cockos.com/licecap/ - although I don't think the software used to create the gif will make a difference.

@d-healey I have downloaded - thanks.
