  i’ve been posting gifs & at first, they worked just fine.
  post them & they would be animated.
  then suddenly one day they didn’t appear animated,
  just a frozen still pic.
  when i go to edit the page,
  they appear animated, just fine.
  why aren’t they appearing animated on the finished, posted page?
  anybody?
  thanx!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Can we get a link to the blog you are talking about, and to a place where this has happened?

  Are the images still in your gallery in your dashboard? Did you upload them through WordPress or hotlink the pictures?

  Is this the blog in question? http://bleufrenchlaundry.com/

  yes that’s the right blog url
  one of the images is the candle pic half way down the homepage.
  it’s supposed to flicker.
  that is one of them that i inserted in my composition of the page.
  it worked before, it was animated previously,
  why did it stop?

  Did you edit the image before posting it like resizing it?

  Animated gifs seem to be an issue lately and it points to the possibility of wordpress making a change of some sort. I’ve cleaned up the code and taken out all size references and if you open the post, switch to the HTML tab, navigate to the code for the image and replace it with this, you will again have animation:

  <img class="aligncenter" src="http://bleufrenchlaundry.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/cf46862289_115749566754.gif" alt="" />

  Hi,

  I have got the same problem on my blog :

  alzazetsongraal.com which is containing lots of animated gifs.

  In the sidebar of an other blog of mine, lamaisondalzaz.com, the only animated gif works normally… in the back of the homepage.

  Thanks for help.
