Is it possible to upload a GIF file here on Paint?

I know you can insert a GIF url with the [image] tags, but they bug out after a short amount of time, which is extremely inconvenient.

If it isn't possible to upload GIF files, can we make that a thing?

Last I checked, GIFs work perfectly fine with [image] tags. Source: any time I wish somebody a happy birthday.

In terms of uploading GIFs, if you try doing that on the standard upload tool on 3DS Paint, it'll only show the first frame as a static image, as I'm sure you're aware. Likely done to not hog up memory on Hull's servers.

HOWEVER, there is a workaround. If you upload it as a profile picture, you can use that as a image; just use the [image] tag.

If you want to see some examples, just head on over to my DSi Gallery. I have plenty of those there :p
