Question about uploading animated banner (gif)

Hi guys,

I have a question about a animated banner (gif) I'm trying to add to my Sythe thread.

Normally, I've always been able to do this without any problems. I used to send the banner to myself through Discord, open the image, copy the image link and paste it into my Sythe thread. That was it my animated banner/GIF would show up perfectly.

However, this method doesn't seem to work anymore.

I've tried uploading it to Postimages and ImgBB instead, but both have a 30 MB file size limit, while my original GIF is 46 MB.

I then tried reducing the file size using EZGIF. That worked, although the quality of the banner is noticeably lower now. I uploaded the compressed version on Postimages/ImgBB and copied the direct image link into my thread, but the banner/GIF still doesn't show up.

I'm probably missing something simple, but I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Does anyone know how I can fix this or the correct way to embed an animated banner into a Sythe thread?

Unfortunately, I can't contact the person who originally made my banner either. It was created a few years ago, and they are no longer around.

I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!

 

Do you have a link to the image you want to add to your thread?
