there's only partial support for animated gifs by the image libraries coppermine uses. Not directly related to coppermine, but the image libraries used (GD and ImageMagick).
Until PHP releases a version that has support for animated gifs (new functions for animated gifs), there really isn't much we can do about this issue.
thank you GauGau & Kegobeer for the help and info ... my I ask do you know if there is talk if PHP is coming out with a veision for animation soon ? there is alot of Paint Shop groups moving off MSN groups and getting forums and websites just for their groups and we work with animation ... thank you .. Bev
Check out the PHP site.

Actually, GD comes as a third-party app from Boutell, the PHP devs "only" coded in some functions to use the library. Considering the fact that GIFs are obsolete (mainly because of the 256-colors limitation) and that they have gone through painful experiences with the Unisys patents issues in the past, I strongly doubt that they will develop GIF support much further, but who knows...
