Open them in IE, do they animate there? If not, then do you have some kind of Firewall such as ZoneAlarm?

I know you can stop gif animations in Firefox by hitting the Esc key. (very useful when reading posts by people with overactive avatars, btw) The only way to restart the animation is to refresh the page.

If you refresh a page and the gif animations don't resume, the logical conclusion is that it's time to empty the cache.

Firefox Tools menu -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache, click the Clear button.

Edit: Ok, IE too huh? Gotta be firewall then. Doesn't Zonealarm have a disable animation feature?

Yeah, that's why I mentioned ZA. You have to change your custom Ad Blocking settings so that it doesn't block animated .gifs

Haven't used ZA in a while but it's one of the settings in the privacy tabs, either "mobile code control" or "ad blocking" has to be disabled. :unsure:

Same here, I have adblocking disabled in ZA. As far as I can see there is no blocking of animated gifs and I have the same as DanB some places they work others they don't. Why?????
