Are you using MSPaint? If so, that's the problem.

No, I've never used MSPaint. I have made a couple of simple animations using Adobe PhotoShop to create each individual image frame, and a program called "GIF Movie Gear" to 'smoosh' them all together into a single animated image. In the case with Misty's image last night, I couldn't even save it on my hard drive ... well, I could save it, but only as a single frame image (as a bitmap).

I've never run into this before. Even though "properties" said it was a .gif, it wouldn't save as a gif. I guess Snow Bunny was having the same problem. Anyway, Diver Dave told us to try saving it using Netscape. That worked. So, I'm beginning to think it has something to do with the version of IE that Bunny and I are using. Tonk was able to save it using IE, but maybe he has a newer version. I don't know, it's very weird that this is the first time I have ever come up against this problem.

Billie, weren't you also having a problem with this a couple days ago? You know a lot more about these things than I do, do you know why this is happening?

Anyway, good morning to you all. I hope it is a beautiful day in your world. :-)
