156908 2003-07-02 06:15:00 For some reason I have to right click on an animated gif in my browser then click on Show Original Picture to get the gif to animate.

Don't know what's changed as they used to work fine.

I use either IE6 or Crazy Browser.

Browser settings are set to play animations.

156909 2003-07-02 08:04:00 Some firewalls have the wonderful feature to disable the animations by default - are you running one?

Animated gifs are really blurky ick though! I'm relieved that I can block them

156912 2003-07-02 20:21:00 As you have ZoneAlarm Pro installed check this.
Open the programme, go to the Privacy Tab and click on the
custom button. Make sure that the option to block animation is turned OFF.

156913 2003-07-03 05:09:00 Don't have ZoneAlram Pro, have the free version.

Have done no major alterations to anything.

Don't know how long it's been like this , only noticed it two days ago.

156916 2003-07-30 00:42:00 & Make sure you do not have any pop-up stoppers running, because a few do block them as well. stu140103 (137)
156917 2003-07-30 01:58:00 Ummm How do you actually know that your animated gifs are in fact animated? I assume you realise that not all gifs are animated?

Just a by-thought.
