being animated. Is it something in the code for the NS forums that don't allow them to animate on the page and are required to be clicked? Just curious.

Click for larger image
Things like this would be awesome if it were moving in the thread rather than needing to click it.

I agree. And what about animated gifs in signatures? probably would be too crazy but it would be cool.

This wasn't so much a question as to if they could change it to be that way but more so a question as to why isn't it like that.

I couldn't take forums full of animated gifs. I'm on NS for skiing news and discussion (with the exception of the spectacle that is NSG), and I don't think animated gifs would add anything to that. Just like flash videos require a button to be clicked to play the video, it shouldn't be overly problematic to click a gif to see the animation either. The comedy of watching twelve repeated frames Ari Gold yelling "get the fuck out" is not worth the inane clutter it would cause to the forums.

I don't think the amount of animated GIFs would be overbearing. Although, if it is, would it be possible to just make it so that you can click on it to start it playing but it doesn't have to pop into a new window?

Why do icons show as one but not picture?

The reason is the pictures you're seeing in the thread are a thumbnail of the original. When you click it, it opens the original.
