+M 5 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I'm trying to add a .gif to a cache description. Is that supported. I have never tried, even in the old html format. I uploaded a .gif to my unpublished cache page and it isn't animated in the gallery. Thanks for any help/info Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I think images uploaded to geocaching.com get converted to JPEG, which of course, does not support animation. But if you upload the image somewhere else, then you can display it on a cache description page here. Quote Link to comment
+Team Microdot Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Animated GIF's stored on geocaching.com servers do animate just fine - provided you use the correct HTML. All you need to do is omit /large from the image URL. The two examples below are the same image file stored in the same location - the version with /large in the path you will notice doesn't animate - even though they are the same file. I think it has something to do with Groundspeak using Cloudflare to enhance network resillience. http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/608f15fe-2619-4a02-a100-df93c3c7e63a.gif http://imgcdn.geocaching.com/cache/large/608f15fe-2619-4a02-a100-df93c3c7e63a.gif Quote Link to comment
