Animated Smilies

Fat_Boy

Hi,

Though not life-threatening, the animated smilies on here are static on my home comp. I suspect that I have buggered up the internet settings somehow, if so, what have i ticked/unticked this time??

sra

In Internet Explorer, try -

Tool / Internet Options
Click the Advanced tab

Under Multimedia, check if Play animations in web pages is ticked

blinky

Zonealarm can sometimes block these too.

sra - Checked and confirmed that the box is ticked.

blinky - Have always had Zonealarm Pro on this system, but they used to work.

Hmmmmm

I've had this problem too and when I got an update for some reason it reset everything ....................go into zonealarm and 'privacy' and 'ad blocking'

check that it hasn't blocked your animations........worth a try

Yep, mine gets reset with every update too.

You are right, the option had been reset, I have unticked it, rebooted and it it's still static!

I really hate niggly little problems like this.

ok try this ,tools ,internet options ,security ,trusted sites


input mse address into it

oh_heck

and if that don't work

user cp

edit options

thread display options .............tick all three

The Trusted Sites workaround didn't work.

Am probably being a bit thick (have been painting all day and the fumes have got to me lol), but I don't understand what you mean in your last post about user cp??

Just opened my eyes and figured it out! Your signature is pretty accurate in my case

Edit - they were ticked already!
