Viewing post in Gif's suddenly not animating

Until to this day the problem is still existing, uploading gif images into the description does not work.

But there is a workaround and you could ask the ChatGPT to help you with GitHub Repository Link method on how to use it if you a newbie into this kind of stuff.

Copy and paste the image address link from your GitHub into itch.io description SOLVED! so far this is the only temporary solution that works best.

This is the example of the result, copy and paste into your description like this will appeared.

Please don't declare the bug solved when it isn't. This is just a workaround. There's still no official solution to this problem, and no official word on why it's happening.

The current workarounds are:

* Use an external host (like Github)
* Convert the gif to apng

I mean my gif problem get solved with this alternative temporary solution, I did not say itch.io has solved the issue. As I mentioned on my first line, the problem is still there if you add gif in normal way.

Unfortunately GitHub links work only for the description section. APNGs work on banners and background images too. The community hasn't found a solution for screenshots previews yet, as far as I know. We are making progress, though! :)
