no animated avatars

Are there no more animations allowed on the Forum, or is it just a problem with my browers? Nobody's avator has animation... (been wanting to ask this for a while now...)

My flag is waving as it usually does. I see animation in other posts too. Is there a setting in the forum profile options to turn the animation off?

They are working fine with Moz Firebird. Try clearing your browser temp files.

Hi Everybody

Still no joy... or waving flags...

Running IE 6. Just tried clearing temp files, closed / reopened IE & OE, no change. - Also went into Internet Options and unchecked, then rechecked "Play Animations." No diff. - I didn't find a "play" opton in the user profile page, only "Show Avators" which is checked on.

Haven't noticed a problem at other sites, but haven't looked either - Got a link to a site with animations to do a cross check with?

Could it be a ZoneAlarm Pro 4.x setting?

TwoRails - with no moving parts - LOL

Smile Problem Fixed!

Well, it did turn out to be a ZAP setting. I found it at:

ZAP > Privacy > Site List

Then, pick the site in question, and click on the "Options" button to edit. From there:

Click on the "Ad Blocking" tab and uncheck "Animation."

I think it's a good thing, as it shows it's "working"
