    Can't post animated gif?

    The upload dialog says the site supports a wide variety of image file formats, but when I tried to upload a gif animation it was converted to a static jpg. So, does that mean that only jpg's are actually supported and the list is the formats the software knows how to convert to jpg?

    saw alignment.gifThis one is only 84KB. It appears to animate ok, so maybe there is a file size limit?

    Not animated for me during regular viewing, but just now when I quoted it, the image is animated in the reply box... go figure.

    It seems to be sensitive to browser. I have to click on the gif to make it open in an inset window before it will animate. But, like you, while editing my post it seemed to animate just fine within the edit window. As Dan says, go figure...

    I believe the file size limitation for gifs is 107k.
