SO when you optimize a animated .gif it stops moving ??

Normally when I upload .gifs to my mambo site they move, I just optimized one and uploaded it and it doesnt move, wondering why ??

OK, It's  the optimization, AND it's the {mosimage} feature in Mambo.(one more strike against Mambo)  When I use either or  it doesnt animate, if i use html img src code it works, now I cant get it to align center, trying to figure out which .css to change,  hmmm____

opps didn't notice the date on this thread, it was second from the top!

I agree with this on animated gifs:

Don't get me wrong there is a time and place for them.

A great page showing animated gifs and not how to use them is:

Nice article indeed, thanks for sharing that. I only have two animations on my site and I think they are appropriate. That was a kewl site you gave for example of good use.
