Site Update: GIFs, Comment Images, and More!

Hi All!

A few new site updates have recently gone out, which are aimed at interactivity on the site. 

I've added some new buttons to our site comment editor (the forum editor is different and not affected). The new buttons allow you to add images and GIFs to your comments.

The first major update is GIF support on the site comment editor, which is powered by GIPHY. On the site editor, you can press the video button to search GIPHY for GIFs and post them in your comments.

The image button allows you to add an image from your device to the comment you are posting. 

I've also improved the card tooltip button to display a more formatted version of the tooltip, which is presented before you hit the comment button, rather than the mass of HTML that was shown before (and may have scared users off of using it!). 

With these new changes, I've also improved how we hyperlink to these comments. On our homepage (under Recent Site Comments / Recent Forum Activity), the hyperlinks should now directly go to the relevant comment. The same has been applied to the public profile pages where it shows what the user has commented on. 

I hope you all enjoy these interactive updates!
