This was posted some time ago - but it seems to have been overlooked a little recently so it bears repeating:
There have been a few problems in the gallery as a result of animation uploads, the site "programmer" has looked into this and has said the following (in the questions/problems/suggestions forums if you want to read the full thread - under "problems seeing the main gallery"):
"Gif's upload fine if it is a gif image.
However you can not upload an animated gif over 199 pixels wide or tall.
The reason being is an animated gif is made up of many frames like a multimedia file.
Once you upload an animated gif over 200pixels the image processor creates a thumbnail which will be distorted and this can not be corrected in any way but to delete the image.
An animated gif is an image not a multimedia file hence we can not treat it as a multimedia file and bypass the thumb creation image processing part".

Thank You, IT Admin.
