Blinkies and animated blinkies

Banned-coughburp · #1 August 10th, 2006, 05:01 AM

I've noticed on my brother's computer that the blinkies blink some are animated, on my computer they don't blink and the playroom blinkies don't move. What program do I need to download to get them to? Thanks!

I think I've heard someone say that if you have AOL it wont blink??? Not sure if you can fix it.

I use firefox or internet explorer, it doesn't work with either.

I use firefox. This might work... go up to TOOLS/OPTIONS/CONTENT tab. In there are a bunch of boxes to check. Check them all -except- "from originating website only".

Are you using a dial up provider that has an accelerator? If you are using netzero or earthlink or some of the other internet providers that have accelearated options it will make your graphics smaller and you won't see animated blinkies.

Another thing is when you are saving them, are you saving them as a .gif file or .jpg because if they are saved as .jpg they will not blink at all.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm on broadband (Roadrunner) and I save them as .gif files plus no one elses blinks or animates either. Maybe my computer is just dumb (b/c it couldn't be the one who is operating it

) Thanks again ladies!!

He is a boxer/American bulldog mix. We usually just refer to him as a boxer b/c he acts more like one.

Yeah he looks alot like my boxer (but mine is brindle) except you dont see many white boxers because I wasnt sure. He's cute!

Mine were doing that for a while too and it turns out it had something to do with a firewall. I couldn't see some tickers either, I could see the JM ones but no other ones. I just adjusted my firewall settings and it went back to normal. Maybe that might help?

Oh and your dog is just way too adorable with those eyes!
