I have no animation.

I can't see any animations on my computer. Anyone care to help me troubleshoot?
PS. I get animations on other sites, but not here.

Probably the only animations you should see would be avatars - is that what you mean?

I had that problem once- it had to do with the settings on my firewall blocking certain types of animation. For the longest time I thought CanadaGirl's avi was JUST a cat eye because that was where it 'froze'. LOL

Or, depending on what it is (not avi's/smilies usually) it could be that you either need to get or troubleshoot your JRE (Java Runtime Environment).

I don't know what animations you mean so...?

[Parrothead]

I meant avi's and smilys.

[Rapscallion]

Hmm - we don't have any AVIs that I am aware of on the site. Most smilies are static.



Is that animated?

avi likely meaning avatars.

[Parrothead]

I see them on my laptop, but not my desktop. I think it's just my computer. (And avi is avatar.)

[Broomjockey]

Are you using the same browser on each? If so, there might be some setting somewhere that got changed (darn those random shortcut keys!), maybe a quick look through the security and advanced settings to see if there's any differences?

[Parrothead]

Laptop is a 4 month old HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Vista.
Desktop is a 7 year old generic box I got on sale somewhere with windows XP.

[Broomjockey]

Yes, but browser? Internet explorer, Firefox, netscape, opera, etc.? Same brand, same version?

[Parrothead]

Both use firefox, and I don't know how to tell what version.

[Parrothead]

Update: I managed to get some smilies animated. Oh, and Broomjockey: both desktop and laptop use the same versions of Firefox.

[NightAngel]

As a side:
I refer to avatars as avi's. I sometimes forget that an AVI is a type of movie format.

My bad.

Ok, it works now. I just needed (I think) the new Java plugin.

Thanks!
