Question about the animated smileys

[abn]

I suspect that the smilies are animated, but I can't see it. For example, I can't see this smily's eyes rolling nor can I see the alarm flash :alarm: etc.

The other day, I almost picked this smily as a basic smile (because that's what it looks like unanimated), then noticed that it's called "winkiss" and decided not to risk blowing kisses to other forum members!

Am I doing something wrong or are the smilies simply static images?

Thanks! -Alex

They are all moving on my screen. I would guess a browser setup issue in internet options.

They shouldn't animate in the selection area, but they should when added into a post. The "names" of the smileys are pretty random. I collected them from here and there, and didn't change very many of the names, unless two smileys had the same one, or they were badly titled. (In responding emails the name shows, not the smiley). In the control panel, you can even choose not to view smileys and/or avatars if you want (helpful for people with slow or expensive internet connections.) By the way, Alex, your avatar is one of my favorites.

Johanna and Regis,

Thanks for your responses regarding smilies. After looking around a bit, I discovered that I had Web Developer Tools installed on Firefox, and somehow had selected the "Disable Image Animations" option. I suppose that would do it!

My smilies are back jumping around again, especially this guy: :fire:

Thanks again! -Alex
