Can we please add GIF as allowed upload format?
At the moment it seems not to be allowed to upload a file with the .gif extension.

The .GIF extension hasn't been on the approved list to prevent animated GIF files from being uploaded. I don't know of a good way to filter out GIF files that contain more than one frame, and I'm trying to avoid manually policing that. So a solution that can filter the upload would be better than removing animated GIFs after they've been posted. I'll look into it and see if I can find something.
Hi
@Nitro , thanks for looking into this.
The reason why I asked for .GIF extension is indeed for uploading an animated GIF.
But if animated GIFs are not wanted anyway, I think there is not much reason to enable the .GIF extension (normal images can be easily converted to JPEG or PNG), especially if it would mean more administration efforts ;)
