The uploader may be stopping animations.

Also works in a sidebar widget. Can you post the URL of the gif so we can check it? Sometimes I've managed to save gifs that don't seem to work, and I have to re-save it.

The fact that it can be animated is a bonus.

As for the banner, there are a few people that have tried and failed, one in another thread recently.

I can't see animated *.gifs here and I've not been able to get an answer out of staff on it.

I have uploaded it, but it doesn't move (a .Gif is a moving file). So my question is, does WordPress allow .Gif's in their banners? and before you ask, yes it is a working .Gif, I have tried it at other sites.
Thanks alot,
JTM
