Flaky GIF uploads

Uploading GIFs on this site has been hit-or-miss for the few months I've been here, but where they used to fail with an error page a while back, the GIF is now quietly discarded from the thread. Posting GIFs to this instance is broken from kbin.social as well (where the whole post fails) so it's not a front-end issue.

thanks - I wasn't aware of the issue. I will try to figure out why.
How large are the gifs you're posting? So far, my test uploads have been successful and I'm not able to get it to fail...
- @[email protected] They range from 2.7 to 9.1 MB, though looking at the ones that did post successfully, they seem to be less than 5 MB. I think I ran into a size limit.
  
  That gives me something to go on. Thank you.
