Yeah, yeah it's probaly in the old posts somewhere, but Ive had a quick look and I cant find anything on.......

- How come when I use someone elses computer, the GIF's and all the animations ":argh: :motu: :pinch: :wacko: (for example) smilies" work but on my own 'puter at home they don't work. Do I have to install a program or is it something to do with 'Mozilla" even tho I have the same with 'Explorer" HELP!!!!


Thanks,

Try updating your web browser? Dunno what version you are running, but Firefox are up to 1.5 now and they just brought out a new update for it in the last day or so. Load that up and see how you get on.

Edit: Just had a quick look, current version is 1.5.0.1. Have a look here (http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/upgrade-2.html).

I assume by Mozilla you mean Firefox. First, do you have Zonealarm installed . If you do it is probably blocking animation. There ius a setting somewhere in it (don't use it m'self so don't know where) to turn on animations. If it's not Zonealarm you may have animations turned off in Firefox. Open a Firefox window. Enter about:config in the address bar. Scroll down to images.animation_mode . If it says anything in the "Value" column, remove it (ie leave the colum blank) . This will "turn on" animation. Note it turns it on for ALL images not just KB. WHich can be a pain in the proverbial. In IE go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced Scroll down to Multimedia and tick "Play animations in web pages".

None of thse - I'm stumped. But I've not known the above fail yet.

Mozilla (the old Mozilla, not Firefox) has a setting in Options , like IE. I don't know how it is reached though, follow your nose and look for something about "animation"

EDIT: You will need to close down all Firefox windows and restart the browser

My oldish computer stops the animations when there's too many for it to keep up. (Like, I didn't know Mr Melons avatar was animated... :( )

I've got Zone Alarm but I still get all the animations, etc.
