    Try refreshing the page once it's loaded and see if it saves as a gif
    or
    do a right click and use "Save Target As".

    I save a ton of animated gifs. All I do is "right click" the image and click "Save Picture As...", then save it to my gif folder. It will look like just a picture in your folder, but when you click it you get the animation. Doing what Gaz instructed achieves the same.

    Now I've got to get back to shooting legs of of cows.

    Does anyone know how to view animated .gifs after you've downloaded them using Windows 7. I have a number of .gifs that Windows 7 will not animate that I could add to the board.
    Someone is always counting
