      Try Quick Preferences, Enable Animated Images.

      Does this one animate?

      Otherwise, we need a site link.

                  Did you try Pesala's animated images suggestion? Or could it be that you disabled loading images altogether?

                    OS = your computer's Operating System (as in: Windows7-32 bit, Linux Ubuntu, etc)

                      The following is a set of steps to perform in Opera with it running, to see what Opera is set to do with gif files. The "+" symbol means that the two keys shown should be pressed simultaneously; the ">" symbol means proceed to the next step; the Capitalized name listed at the start of each step refers to a tab or button name you should see in the pop-up panel opened in the previous step and which you should now click; other instructions are self-explanatory.

                      CTRL+F12 > Advanced > Downloads > remove the checkmark for "Hide file types opened with Opera" > click on the "File extension(s)" header to cause the items in the list to be sorted alphabetically by extension name > scroll in the list to locate the "gif" entry (associated with the MIME type "image/gif" at the left of that same entry) > Edit > make sure the "Open with Opera" button is marked as active > OK > OK.

                          Did you Enable Animated Images as described in the first post?

                              Sorry, I missed a space from the link. It should work now. If the box is not checked, then enable it. If it's already checked, then there is some other unknown problem.
