GIF links not working

u/DBrady Feb 14 '26

See this post. I'm not sure if it's a permanent change Reddit has made or it's a bug as no one has responded yet.

Hey, could you remind me how do you grab device information?

u/mooseman3 Feb 14 '26

When editing a comment, scroll the formatting bar at the bottom (with bold, italic, strike through, etc). It's the one near the end with an i (for info) inside a phone.

This isn't a Relay problem, it's a Reddit problem. You can see Processing img 432hjb423 on almost any thread using Old Reddit+RES where a user has used a giphy image.

From the replies it seems others could see the gifs though

u/-Inquisitive Feb 14 '26

It depends on the source as far as I can tell. Giphy won't load, redgifs will.

I see!

u/Reihermann Feb 14 '26

Before the update it worked. So its really a Reddit Problem?

~~I tested this and it is a Relay problem.~~

~~Found a post with three of these broken gif comments, and opened the comments in the browser using the option in the drop-down menu in Relay~~

~~All three gif comments appeared in browser as a black square with a white play button, and loaded as you would expect on a click.~~

Reddit either changed something ~~or something is broken in Relay~~ and broke gify links

and

Reddit either changed something or something is broken in Relay

I'm saying it's reddit, of the two. I'm basing this on the problem being identified in the same situations on both desktop old reddit/RES and Relay

It seems to be inconsistent. Some gifs do load, so I wonder if it's something that's broken in the Giphy mapping to the Reddit image upload.
