I mainly use Flickr for photos since Photobucket imposed limits (before this current fiasco) which meant I'd had to open 3 photobucket accounts. Unfortunately I can't move everything off Photobucket to Flickr though, because Flickr don't support animated gifs. So if anyone knows of a free hosting site that provides html codes to share gifs, let me know. I can't get giphy's codes to work, and photoland.io is ok but has limits on how many pics you can upload at one time, which is annoying.

I believe PostImage.org supports gifs. So they should be able to host animated gifs as well?

Thanks, I'll check them out!
