Weirdly it shows correctly in his quote!

(I actually thought you’d posted a reaaaaaally long striped pic to artistically signify s never ending dreary saga) lol

@bobmunro can you repost the gif on this thread, and I'll run through what the problem was?

Well now you come to mention it - I had intended it to be an aesthetic representation of the self-fulfilling and quite frankly self-flagellating propensity we all have to wollow in the endless futility of our struggles.

Either that or I mistakenly put up a dodgy gif.

That’s exactly what I saw Bob. It really captured the earthy, gritty, and bleak undertones to this saga with an overarching message to the observer that all lines head south. 

Promising work

That's cos I took a punt and tweaked something.

Not sure which site I got it from now - and I don't think this is the version as it is much smaller. Perhaps the size of the original one was the problem.

<img alt="Alis stretched escher gif" src="https://i.imgur.com/Dr6Xnmb.gif" width="200" height="400">

<img alt="Alis stretched escher gif" src="https://i.imgur.com/Dr6Xnmb.gif" width="2276" height="1866883722">

Which means you ended up with a version so ridiculously vertically stretched, you couldn't tell it was a picture. You can probably fix it just by removing the height attribute, and it'll just scale correctly, but I usually hard code the width as it helps keep the images small and reduce the amount of scrolling we need to do. If you're a bit wary of changing it, just check that the size attributes don't look weird, and if they do, then use a gif from another site.

It wasn't the size per se, but the size attributes linked with the image.

See how the gif below is stretched? That's because the height and width have been hardcoded in this post.

If you quote this post and then hit the </> symbol, then somewhere in it you'll see this bit:

<img alt="Alis stretched escher gif" src="https://i.imgur.com/Dr6Xnmb.gif" width="200" height="400">

So it's taken the gif and squeezed it into a box 200 pixels wide by 400 pixels high.

Now for some reason the gif you posted on that thread had utterly bizarre height and width attributes. I can't remember the exact numbers, but it was something like this:

<img alt="Alis stretched escher gif" src="https://i.imgur.com/Dr6Xnmb.gif" width="2276" height="1866883722">

That makes sense, as the stripes though ridiculously long, were still moving!

We used to correct that with the vertical hold button.
