For postimages, you need the direct link, which is, I think, the one on the list!

Postimages works.

Save your design as a GIF on canva
Then go to postimages and upload this gif
then copy the DIRECT LINK.
then paste the direct link in the middle of the img tags

@Lauren Wong I usually use imgchest. For this site, you'd upload the gif and then right-click and copy the image address. After that, paste that between the [img] brackets: [img]image address here[/img]. I hope this helps!

Oh ty everyone!

Bit of a weird question – I have seen that some people deactivated, but in the thread to delete/deactivate accounts I cannot find their name and form to deactivate... anyone know why?

If a user is banned, then their account will deactivate without any written documentation visible to users. Its also possible that a hard deletion has occurred, and there was discussion outside of the main site regarding the situation. Someone please hop in and correct me/add on if this is incorrect or incomplete

How does one get banned?

I believe a user can get banned if they break any of the MAJOR site rules (such as multi-accounting)

I'd just like to add that a ban is a last resort move from us. It only occurs once someone breaks the site rules multiple times and ignores our warnings. If someone is close to getting banned, they will have been told. A simple (accidental) breach of site rules once or twice doesn't result in a ban, continuous ignoring of the rules does.
