I find the animated gifs work sometimes as copy and paste other times you have to save and then use the Upload a File button. @Chrissy Page have you tried to copy and paste from the site?
Sorry @Arlene Richards , this turned into a testing thread for emoticons and animated Gifs. Hope we can solve your problem.
Thanks Terry, I'm too lazy to switch to my iphone and find the proper animated gif reply to you and post it, so just imagine anyone you want. Why do we have so much fun with gifs and images I wonder?
