GIFs can play in a pop-up window, but will not play as just embedded files...you need to click the embedded file first. No idea why.
This is due to the forum software creating a thumbnail.
The GIF format has limitations when it comes to resizing on the fly.
Resizing a GIF is not a small task. The software which creates the thumbnails on the server (Imagemagick) would need to strip each frame out from the animated compressed one, resize each frame individually and then put them together and compress to make the resized GIF. So for thumbnails you get a static frame (unless the thumbnail is the same size as the gif).
