What happened to my animated icons?
:bounce: :spank: :puke:

they used to be animated. now they just sit there listlessly.

I was playing around with various security settings recently. Anybody have any idea how I can get 'em back? I miss bouncy, spanky and pukey.

that didn't work.

sigh...

it didn't just happen today. I first noticed it last night, but it could've been going on longer than that. I installed ZoneAlarm and changed some of my browser's security settings recently. Could that possibly cause it?

8. By any chance ...
Did you install ZoneAlarm Pro or any other ad-blocking software? If so, make sure you haven't blocked animated ads because doing so will also prevent animated icons and images from loading correctly.

My animations stopped and it took me days to figure out it was my ZoneAlarm settings. :)

I just edited my post above to say that I installed ZoneAlarm!

I'll look around and find the setting. Sure will be nice to see ol' Pukey again.

Thanks a lot!
