Sadly, this is a grey box with a question mark for me. I had to go to the web view, which gave me a link to the video. For anyone else having issues.

what's funny is your link is blank for me but the OP works perfectly.

Voyager must not like whatever format you used. i wonder why

It's a tiny cat attacking an arthritic finger

I was able to get the link via the website. I added the .mp4 file extension and linked here.

Bruh what? Can you teach me your wizarding ways?

When linking to Imgur you need the file extension for it to display correctly. If when getting the link from Imgur there is any of Imgur's UI visible the link you are going will take you to that same page. You will need to add the extension to the link they give you. jpeg or png for a still, gif or mp4 for a movie.

Then to embed like I did:

I'm nodding my head and pretending I understand. I'm using "boost" on my phone and used the integrated add picture function. But thank you very much for explaining it! I wish I understood more of what you said.

Likely if you edit your post and add mp4 to the link you shared in the post the video should appear.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish 2 points 6 days ago

Hmmm, strange that it is a grey box here under the post but was playing fine when I saw it in my profile. Also I can't seem to edit posts links directly, probably cause I'm using boost(?). But all the love and thanks regardless for trying to help!

Oh, will try! Thanks for bringing it down to my level.
