Suggestion Searching for and embedding GIFs from within bigfooty

[Lore]

Is it possible to add a button to the rich text editor so that we can search giphy or tenor or wherever from within bigfooty and post their GIFs here without having to leave bigfooty and google it first?

Like at the moment there's a media button and you click it and a console thing pops up where if you've uploaded media to the forum then you can embed it in your post from there. But it'd be cool if you could use a similar thing and just type in 'clint eastwood' and it show a selection of 'clint eastwood' GIFs from giphy/tenor to choose from:





If it's possible, you could do the same thing with the totally-independent-not-at-all-related-to-BigFooty memes site http://www.aflmemes.net/ too.

Possibly.

If you're using Gboard keyboard on your mobile browser, you can click the smilie button and you get an option to search for a gif. You type in some keyword and it shows you tons of gifs. Like in-built to the browser and very easy. Just have to use Gboard as the default keyboard regardless whether you're using chrome, edge, safari.

Hope that helps

On Disqus-based platforms, there is a little GIF button you press, and you can search the web for gifs.

See screencap below.

As i stated above, if you're using Gboard on Android phone you can do this, but if you're on your PC at home, you can't. Also if it were native inside BF itself, that would be very nice.

Ok, here's a link where you can install Gboard for you PC.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.latin

Still, native to BF would be ideal.

Just on GIF's, every time I copy and paste a GIF now it pastes it as a still image and not the GIF file.

Any ideas?

How big is the image?

Dunno, I just go to the giphy website, find a gif, right click to copy it, then paste it, but it pastes as a still image.

sometimes animated images are in jpg format not gif and when you embed them they become still images on here.
