can't see animated smilies!??!?! FIXED, WAS A BROWSER ISSUE-'fix' was released.

[bubble.tea]

I've NEVER had this issue before.

Just formated with a friends (hyper-turbo-grafixed) XP PRO CD that he makes himself and this is something I've noticed that has happened.

the :lol: for example smilies doesn't flicker at the lips., basically ANY animated smilie that I would see on any forum doesn't animate. I will see the smilie, I will however only see one frame thereof. It will be a static smilie-not animated.

I'm using MAXTHON, but have tested in IE6, same results.

I do see the animated emoticons in MSN., just not in forums...I've installed FLASH...thinking THAT would be the issue...is there something that for the first time after installing (perhaps 6 times) Maxthon that defaulted that is disabling these?

HELP.

c'mon people.

If you want me to convince you maxthon and (to a lesser extend) AvantBrowser is the shizznit....just ask.

[Gee]

They are animated .gifs, I think you have animation turned off in the browser.

Try

M Options
Download
Checkmark the 'Play animation' checkbox

and try this in IE

Internet Options
Advanced
Multimedia your settings

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.


finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I did your suggestion from M only.

Hit OK

didn't change anything.

Upon closing M down, a build-update was released so I updated.

upon restarting the browser ONLy, it was resolved....so either the play animation or the build-update solved it.

I DID notice that in the window pop-up from M., one of the fixes reported was "fixed drawing error"...I'm banking on that being the error. :)


1.5.8 build 116 [2006-10-16]
* Fixed some drawing problem.

[Gee]

The drawing problem refers to web pages being rendered

I think you had animations turned off so all animated GIFs were not playing.

Well, either way, you are laughing. :lol:
