I've had that problem for quite some time and it always bothered me but I was too lazy to look into it.

The animated smilies like [img]graemlins/thewave.gif[/img] for example do not move on my PC.
Normal GIFs (be it locally stored or on webpages) work. But at IWF I only get to see the first frame of the animation.

questions:
Why?
How do I fix it?

Certainly not by double posting. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D

fast one! congrats
did of course double post by error (duh) and have deleted other post less than a minute later.

What browser are you using? If IE, I believe it should work if you go into:

Tools => Internet Options => Advanced then go down to Multimedia, and check the box marked "Show Animations in Web Pages." [img]smile.gif[/img]

Are you using ZoneAlarm Pro? Whenever I enable ad-blocking with ZAP this happens, so I turn it off when I visit Ironworks.

thx chewbacca,

just disabled the "animation" box in the ZApro adblocking options and Wohoo!
