Animated smilies/avatars don't animate..

Hi guys, I'm updating Sally's signature since we have added a few more puters.

I noticed none of the smilies move, including any of the animated avatars, like hers.

I'm sure there is an easy way to fix this, just not too sure how to go about doing it.

I hope this is in the correct section as i believe it is a Graphics problem. I'm sure it will get moved if i'm wrong, lol.

Thanks in advance

Jon

    Do you have a firewall running, IE zonelarm (pro)? I don't know what the exact option is in it, but there is one that stops .gifs from animating.

    You could make the sig a bit smaller since it takes up over half my screen at 1280*1024. If you could put the FAH banners next to each other and eliminate the dead space above them that would help a lot.

    Hi shwaip. Back on my own puter, which runs the same security as Sally's. Same firewall, same anti-virus, etc. Difference is, mine works ok. :)

    Though i have not checked Sally's, mine does have the occasional problem with some pictures/gif's or jpeg. Not sure which it is. Shows the dreaded RED X. Fortunately not too often.

    A2Jfreak has something in his sig i can't see. Directly under his Folding score, all i see is the red X.
    Not really important i guess, more a nuisance.

    It's not just this forum either where Sally can't see animation. When clicking onto Stanford to check the scores, the little red sliding bar, moving from left to right whilst the page is loading does not work either. :rolleyes:
    Does on mine. :)

    Make life easy....Get a computer....Yeah, Right, lol. ;D

    Would love to do that Marc, just again, have no idea how. Been looking at the puters Sally has in her sig (done by me) and since getting more, its taking up too much space. Might just put a few basics in it instead, like: 10 puters, 17 WU's, 29Gig for folding and delete the rest.

    hmmm...are you using IE?

    I don't have IE on this computer (at work currently), but there's one of the options is "view animations in web pages". Make sure it's checked. It's in internet options, and IIRC it's the rightmost tab.

    As for the sig, I think that if you set up a marquee for the list of computers, it'd be better. I dont recall the correct syntax, but if you google for +HTML +marquee, you should be able to find something quickly. And, if you PM a supermod/admin and ask nicely, I'm sure they'll get rid of some of the white space for ya ;)

    Using IE. Checked to see if it was ticked, and it is ticked. Some time ago, we went through it using mine as an example if you like and made sure it was the same. This is why i'm a bit stumped.

    Might have something to do with file extentions and which program uses it.
    Might go through Google again and re-word the questions.

    Thanks anyway, appreciate the replies.

    If I had to guess, I'd say it's a setting in the firewall that you have set on one computer, but not the other? Bothered was having a similar problem a while ago. What firewall are you using?

    sorry...I'm not familiar with that firewall, and there's little to no information available on their website. Maybe someone else knows something about it.

    but I did fool around w/ the marquee. You can put images in or change colors as well, just use the vbb code.

    Thanks for that shwaip..... :woowoo: As flash as a rat with a gold tooth. :)

    The marquee worked a treat. Just changed it to a color more suited to a girl, lol. (not too bad since i don't know html, hehe).

    As for the animation problem, we'll get to fix it one day. On behalf of Sally and myself, sure appreciate the effort you have put in. Definitely "beyond the call of duty". :thumbsup:

    Computer Associates, Inc. has a tech support area also. They work on thier site regularly, best bet for current linkage is a Google search. Microsoft thought well enough of their product to include it in trial form in the Security Guidance Kit they offered, and Computer Assosicates provided some of the info in that kit also.

    Google:

    or:

    I had no animations in smilies ages ago and tried everything to fix it. Turned out it was a setting in Zone alarm. Do you have Zone alarm?

    Even though it wasn't directed at me, thanks for that. See my sig... :thumbsup:

    Unfortunately not. Got Computer Associates, EZFirewall. Works good, just MAY be the cause, not sure yet.

    Flying back to the mine to work in 14 hrs. If i don't get a chance this time, i'll do it next time home.

    Only 2 weeks to go. But who is counting, lol.
    Just finished building/painting a free standing set of steel shelves for Sally's little farmlet. Will take the 9 puters that are on 2 shelves at the moment. Should tidy things up a bit, especially since we have been replacing most of our cases with Antec Super Lanboy's. Found them to be a lot quieter than what we had. Should look a lot tidier when i have finished. (another..next time home job).

    Back on topic, i'll definitely will go through all the firewall settings again. I'll compare them to my notebook ones, and see if i can find the culprit.
