    In my recent article I am using four gifs to show functionality of the application after every completed part of the article. They are however not working, only the first frame of the gif is shown. How can I fix those gifs, for example when users click on the image thumbnail, the real gif to be loaded? Or maybe some other approach can be used?

      What I've been doing (if the GIF is larger) is sizing the GIF down in the HTML so that is the proper width (700px wide). Alternatively, you could place the still image and then link the image itself to the GIF. So <a href="https://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/4073222/large-file.Png"><img src="small-file.gif" /></a> Or if you don't want to fuss with it, you can email me (sean@codeproject.com) with your GIFs, and tell me which images need to be replaced and where they are within the article, and I will be happy to mess with it until it is to your pleasing.

      Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

        Thank you Sean. The gifs are wider that 700 px, so this is why they are not shown. I will try to fix this myself using your suggestion and hopefully I will not bother you. In case I do not succeed, I will contact you via e-mail, I know your e-mail from my first article, where you fixed one gif as well :)
