I see tons of GIFs every day here on tPF -- most are commonly shared from GIF Soup. So today, I finally decided to join the fun and tried to post a GIF, only it didn't work -- I tried posting it multiple ways and failed every time

Is GIF Soup not on the list of approved photo hosting sites, meaning that MP members are the only ones able to hot link GIF images from the site?

GIF shows up in my message, but as soon as I click SUBMIT, it turns into a link
