Uploading Smilies Problem

[alfuzzy]

Hello all. I'm trying to upload some animated smilies into my site.

I downloaded some animated smilies from here at vBulletin.org...and the animated smilies were 48x48 pixels. I thought these were sort of large...so I downsized them to 24x24.

Here's the issue. The original 48x48 animated smilies...if I upload them to my site they work fine (just too big). What I mean by "work fine" is...the animation repeats over & over just like it should.

The downsized 24x24 smilies when I upload them. They only do one animation cycle...then they stop (no repeated animation). The ONLY thing I did when editing them was I edited the size from 48x48 to 24x24...I didn't do anything else...and can't figure out why the animation on the 24x24 smilies does not repeat over & over & over like the 48x48 smilies.

FYI...I uploaded both the 48x48 and 24x24 smilies via the vBulletin adminCP using the "Upload Smilie" vBulletin adminCP command.

Thanks
