I can't see a reason why you wouldn't be able to - possibly depends on the forum. If you click Post Reply / Go Advanced, there's an option that says "Attach Files" - check to see if gif is listed there.

Then find the URL of the image, click the Insert Image option in the toolbar, and paste the address.

(Hopefully) voilà!

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

I need to see the code to know what was wrong with it.
