As per written in the title, I really wanted to show a .gif on my signature. However, it just doesn't show up on my signature. Please help!

Try using the following URL instead but keep in mind that this is a fairly large image that some people may complain about. I might recommend putting it in a spoiler.

Yeah thanks mate, just went your way and it worked perfectly! :D

By the way, is it possible for you to tell me what have I done wrong and how can I do it your way so that I don't fuck up next time?

The URL you were trying to use before was not directly linked to the image but the page it was hosted on. Notice the lack of filetype at the end:

Code: Select all

By right clicking the image on that page and selecting "open image in new tab" you get just the image by itself. This one ends in .gif:

Code: Select all
