Yeah that's it. Not sure why gifv doesn't work in standard html

Code: Select all

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/nc9t6tt.gifv">
but it doesn't seem to, and that's why.

Any workaround for this? Can't change the format on my tablet (i don't think so anyhow).

I believe gifv is actually a video file without the sound. Depending on the file size, imgur may keep it as gif format or convert it to video format.

Example of gifv in video format.

Thanks. I don't like that it doesn't loop it though. I will try to find a quick fix. Googling how to make things work is about the limit of my technological prowess, though. We will see.

Great. Just leave out the "v" part and everything is copacetic. 8-)

Now everyone can enjoy this old stock footage of the deadly holocoaster. 👍
