I have an extensive private animated gif collection that I would like to store online so that I can access them for my forum postings by quickly copying the image URL to a reply. I was using Imgur for this task for a while, but they recently changed their layouts so that your image collection is stored one under the other instead of in a handy grid. Any suggestions?

I store them on my computer. I use a tool that adds to your right click menu the ability to upload to imgur or similar. It gives you the URL almost right away. In this way you are:
1. not dependent on imgur's storage / terms
2. able to use whatever software you want to categorize.

I just put the stuff in folders but you could also use categories and tags in Adobe Lightroom if you you wanted a very powerful categorization system for your animated gifs - that is what photographers who upload stock photos use.

The tool I use is for linux only but probably the tool listed here as "Right click -> Send To -> Imgur" will work for you:

EDIT: many other tools on there seem to do this.

sli.mg has a good reputation on voat, but it's also a blocked site on a number of corporate servers.

There's always delete thread for all your gif needs!

Telegram works nicely for this. You can open it up on the computer and gifs are automatically grouped together.

I'm in the same boat- recently started moving all my stuff to sli.img, but honestly its not that great- the layout is pretty spartan which is fine, but they have a 20mb file size limit i believe- so anything beyond that won't upload.

not a huge deal if you use gfycat as well for your big files, but not as simple to find what you're looking for that way either, and all but impossible if you're doing it from mobile.

I just use google bookmarks. I like how you can use multiple tags to categorize a link, so I have a tag for gifs and then another for important topics if one applies. I'm not familiar with imgurl but it seems like you could use the two in conjunction, store on imgurl and bookmark the direct link in google bookmarks.

A simple Dropbox account could work well for it. You can add tags in the filename or whatever folders you like to help organise it.

honestly I've never stored or categorized them. I typically have a good idea of the reaction I'm going for (or the specific pop culture reference) and a minute or two of Google image searching with "gif" in the search box usually pays dividends.
