Posting GIFs to Facebook via FPTraffic...?

Hey everyone,
I just signed up for fptraffic to manage all my FB posts. I set it up to post several GIFs that my audience would find appealing. When I went to check on the newsfeed(s) none of the gifs loaded, it simply loaded a screen shot of the first image.

Anyone know why this is? Its my first time using FPTraffic.

    Facebook doesn't officially support animated gif files. I've seen some workarounds, like using giphy, but that's probably why they aren't working through FPTraffic.

    A good place if you want to do a lot of gif's is Tumblr. They post them on there like crazy.

    Yeah, unfortunately Facebook does not support gifs. However, when you upload them or select them on FPTraffic you will see them as a gif on FPTraffic. Like if you were to manually upload a gif to Facebook, they basically take the first frame and that's what they show.
