Hi, re: the GIF facility: whats the intended point of it? I'm asking out of interest. I've just discovered it, it looks great. But is it for a rolling repeat of your favourite scene from a video? Can you compile multiple favourite parts of scenes in one self-compiled movie? Forgive my technological ignorance, its just an honest question. Can you use it on old mp4 files? If so there are a heck of a lot of great porn moments I could upload, thats for sure!

One of its uses is to export gifs to the forum easily.

Except that the link don't display due to regular http and not https. Most browsers will automatically block http-content since months now. Please fix this.

If you want to illustrate your point. For instance that Silvia enjoys drinking piss.

Thanks. I kinda was wondering could I make something similar from older mp4's but I guess not. Thanks anyway.

There were some discussions earlier with users not being able to see all images that are posted. The problem is related to browsers that are configured to automatically block insecure (http) content. This is the default behavior for some months back now for the major browsers. Users can tell the browser to allow insecure content which allows http-resources to display (I have done this so I can see your gif), but it is a real issue that should be fixed.
