For the life of me, I cannot figure out to to add gifs to my posts. I feel like I've tried everything.

Use image tags around the file (remove the asterisks from the following.)

[*img]image.url[*/img]

The simplest way is to right click a gif stored on a server that allows hotlinking (if it's on your own hard drive, you will have to upload it to a site like Photobucket, first.) Select "Copy image URL." Then paste the url into the post where you want it, and type in the image tags above (minus the asterisks) around either end of the url.

If the image file doesn't end in an acceptable file format, like .png, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif, then it will not work (you will receive an error message announcing that the file extension is not permitted for hotlinking on this site.)

Edit: If you're trying to do it from a phone, I think the process is much more difficult. I think you actually have to manually type the url, unless there's a function for capturing or copy/pasting on your smartphone.
