Animated GIF
Asked by Claus Juul:

I tried to put in an animated GIF as a space icon (Confluence), it did not turn out animated.

I am guessing that Confluence do not support animated GIF as space icon's am I correct ?

It would be kind of cool if this kickass, cool looking software (Confluence) could have animated GIF's as space icons

body: Can this be used as an project avatar though? Embedding a gif into a confluence page is wonderful, but I want my avatars to be animated as well. Its pretty critical to our workflow.

author: Mick Davidson
body: Claus,

You can run animated gifs, I have about 40 of them in my Confluence. What I found was that if you altered the size of the gif then they don't run when you open the page. However, if you click on one, it opens in a pop up and is animated.

We're running V4.3.7 locally. What are you running?

Cheers.
