Their option icon for adding a gif to a message is not in the reply box right now.    They are doing several upgrades this month... so I'm excited to see what the improvements will be.

If only Pat and Sylvia could easily get in and use the place it could be such fun for us....  I still hope maybe "someday" things will be more useable for you two over there.  

 Just wanted Jeni, and anyone else who may go over there to  know about not being able to load a gif right now. 

I wasn't even able to make a post on my own GB site... at least not with IE... but, I was able to do so at another GB group.  So things are definitely "off" over there right now.
