GIF upload size limit?

[STRAWBOSS]

hey you guys, I apologize in advance for not knowing this but how is it that people are able to load gif files into a thread whereas I am constantly getting error messages telling me that the file is "too large".

i am reducing these files to under 2 MB and I still get this error and the GIF is starting to suck because it looks like it was filmed with a potato, with all the compression and attempts to reduce it.

Can somebody please explain to me what gives? Is there a limit on gifs?

May I please, on account of my exemplary behavior of never having been carded, and relative longevity be granted a permission in this respect?

I've been working on some classics and then when I get to the board all I get is error messages, and I'm getting the files down to 1.7 MB so this is making me have a real sad.

thanks.

Use an external source link. I use giphy. They have a 6 sec max upload. It doesn't link private uploads now either.
