How was your week in the US? And should we keep doing GIF responses like last week's thread? Respond to both or either questions with a GIF! Try to guess what other people's responses mean if they don't explain them! Posted image is my answer for both

consider this a vote for "text-only"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

If there's a lot of other people that want text-only, is it worth creating two threads? Posting on different days of the week? Doing the GIF thread once a month? Any other ideas/preferences?

A lot of the trees are flowering and there was a cool thunderstorm last night. They are fixing up the park nearby where I live. I can hear all the trucks clanking and birds chirping. It’s nice enough to have all the windows open.

Nice! I've been meaning to try doing a time lapse of a thunderstorm, I've seen people do it online and thought it looked cool. Not quite open window weather where I live, but we're close, nice that you've gotten to that point

Dramatic reenactment of communications in the White House...

I added giphy to the image proxy exclusion list. If you edit your comment and resave I believe it'll fix the broken image.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Something that I discovered last week is that the "preview" feature may show the image but then later when the proxy gets added then the image no longer renders.

Testing with the same one from then (it renders correctly with Preview):

image should show here but it does not

Edit: yup, and sure enough it still breaks after the proxy is added. I hope this report helps!:-)

Thanks a lot! I'll look at it more!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thank you - Reddit is one of the major sources of easily findable images on the internet (like gliffy and imgur etc.), so it would be good to have those links work.

And regardless the Preview feature showing differently than ends up being rendered is definitely the biggest issue IMHO. It's hard to balance all of the various factors though, I do get that!:-P

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sorry, I just realized I didn’t update the exclusions list to add preview.redd.it. I’ve just updated it. Please, let me know if you have any more domains to add. Thanks a lot!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you, that's awesome! 😎

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I'm glad you're happy. Sorry, I was so late.
