Be sure that the image size is set to “original” and not “thumbnail” or “optimized”.

It’s also possible that the email client that you’re viewing your message in does not support animated gifs. That’s unlikely, but a possibility.

Thanks, Tom. I didn’t notice the 3 choices. I set it to “original” and it is working at AWeber and in my pretest email.
