Perfect Extensions! It really does exactly what it says. A little tip for all the posters: to make the gif work, let it load a little until it appears in your comment box, don't paste the gif link and post it rapidly, let it load a little(1 second) ... very very good extension. Thank you. how can i help with anything?
