Imgur's gif direct url is invalid! [HELPPPPP!] + posters

Hello! I'm stressing myself over the story's cover ahhhhhhh

It's been a long time since I have written a fanfic, yet an update to my ongoing fics, so the last time I set a cover is for my graphic shop. But hey, it is just like three weeks ago and the gif direct url works perfectly fine! I'm using Imgur bc it is very easy to manage, I've been making gif posters for the requesters from my graphic shop, and I've never received a complain that the url is not working.

Yesterday, I was gonna set the cover for my new fanfic, and it is a gif poster. I uploaded it into imgur and used the direct link. I pasted into the cover section by deleting the 'v' in 'gifv' because it always work like that. But turned out it said that my url is invalid! I tried again not deleting the 'v' which I knew it won't work out, so yeah, it didn't.

Direct url: http://i.imgur.com/NsUPX3G.gifv

I'm so annoyed right now because I can use the url to upload the pic here, but not as the story's cover. I was desperate, so I created a photobucket acct, I had one before but it's kinda hard to manage, so I moved to imgur. But turned out there is no direct link or any link that I can use for the cover, because I'm using my phone. I just want my story to have the gif poster a.s.a.p, I desperately created a tinypic acct, and I'm so glad that I can use the link and I have the gif poster for my story. But the thing is, I don't want to handle many accts, and tinypic doesn't provide the privacy in making the photo private. I'm going to delete my photobucket acct later, and I hope there's any of you can help me with it! I just wanna stick with imgur and hope to find ways to set a gif pic using the url without getting an invalid url error. Thanks!

Help me please!

The posters;
Story's link: No Kiss For You (inspired by Chanyeol kissing scene)

 

Other poster bc I'm bored;

That's all, I hope someone out there can help me, thanks for reading, let's talk in twitter, @baeksmother :)

 

PROBLEM'S SOLVED!

Seems like the url of the poster is having a prob, because I tried using another gif poster and it worked well. So, I reupload using tinypic url and it worked :)

Imgur is currently in beta mode (I'm an imgurian & I also upload some stuff there) so there could be a few problems as of the moment

You should use the 'original gif link' option when setting your main image as a gif. (I wouldn't really recommend you to use a gif as your main poster because it kinda looks weird when you're looking at it from the story listings. I've tried it before, and it was odd to look at. .-.) Anywho, I hope I was able to help. :)
