The look exactly the same to me, dancing and all (using IE7 v7.0.5730.13 on an XP platform from the office).pkiff wrote:Can anyone else confirm that these two URLs produce different behaviours? Or is that just MY quirk?
Phil, when I open the links for the bananas you provided, both actually dance for me. However, in this thread here, the non-dancing banana is from http://www.thinkpads.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_dancing%20banana.gifpkiff wrote:Is it possible that this is some kind of cache quirk related to virtual directories/redirects being used with the new forum url?
In Opera 9.63, I get different dancing behaviours depending on which url is used as the source -- though I am pretty sure that these two urls actually lead to the same file...

Yes, but only if you make them stop via Esc key...basketb wrote:Reloading the page fixes the problem for me.
The middle one doesn´t dance for me, the others two on the contrary dancebasketb wrote: Phil, when I open the links for the bananas you provided, both actually dance for me.

Doh! I just realized that the reason they were dancing in one but not in the other in my specific case is that I had intentionally disabled animated gifs in my browser for one of those domains, but not for the other (using Opera's right-click -> Edit Site Preferences technique described earlier) ...My bad. Sorry for further confusing an already bizarre and inexplicable issue. They all dance fine for me now that animation is enabled in both domains.pkiff wrote:In Opera 9.63, I get different dancing behaviours depending on which url is used as the source -- though I am pretty sure that these two urls actually lead to the same file...

Since this bug (or whatever it is) became so popular thanks to ME (yes, me, Me, ME, mE, I, I, ME, I,...nikki605 wrote: I can't believe dancing bananas has generated this many posts.
) I have just one small (!) request - if the banana "story" should ever get to the annals of history, to be called after me e.g. Marin´s pHpBB 3 conjecture 
Yet, any more pompous names are certainly welcome!

Don't know what browser you are using but for me in FF3, just reloading (F5) the page does the trick, no matter how they were stopped. Shift+F5 doesn't do anything.beGi wrote:Yes, but only if you make them stop via Esc key...
But if it stops on its own only reload+shift key will make it go again...or browser restart...
How did you manage to asynchronize them?basketb wrote: dances:

Maybe it´s possible to add a third phase 
Yup, I was talking about asynchronizing them, it looks much cooler than if they were in syncbasketb wrote:They aren't really synchronized for me. It seems random. Right now the first and third are in sync whereas yesterday it was some other combination.
