Gifs in confluence pages are no longer displaying
Asked by Daniel Stokes:

I've created numerous confluence pages within the project I'm working on and today it seems all of the pages that previously had gifs functioning are now empty. When I go into edit mode, it will show where the gif should be but with a broken page icon as if there is something wrong with them. It's not bound to just one page but pages that were fine weeks or months ago also have the same issue.

Where were the gifs stored? Did you upload them to the page or were they linked to gifs shared on the web or a different Confluence page or space?

body: [@Daniel Stokes](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/5358112) can you still see them as attachments on the page or have they been removed? Also are you on server or cloud?


author: Daniel Stokes
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) when looking at the page in published mode, they are removed / invisible but when I go to edit the page, I can see "![Website Troubleshooting: Fixing Broken Images - Analytic Design](https://www.analyticdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/unnamed-574x675.gif)Project \> Page \> Gif name.gif" (with the broken page icon).   

I'm also on the Server version of Confluence.

author: Daniel Stokes
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) When I go to the "attached to this page" section, I can see all the intended gifs there

author: Daniel Stokes
body: [@Brant Schroeder](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/769100) I'm on the server and when selecting the gifs, I can click the little expand option and then download, zoom in and out and start a presentation with them. I could re-insert them all but it's strange this issue has happened on numerous pages

Have any apps been removed? Are there any errors in the logs? Are others having the same issue? What happens if you upload a new gif does it eventually break?
