This could also be "by design" but... ;)

When I upload a "buddy icon" (which is an animated gif), imagefield only shows one frame of the gif, not the rest.

Talked with Darrel on IRC about this...

This is caused because PHP's built-in GD library doesn't support imagegifanimbegin(), imagegifanimadd(), and imagegifanimend() by default.

One way to solve this would be to decompose the images, rotate each layer, then reassemble them.

Another possibility might be http://drupal.org/node/101728

Not sure where the change came in, but animated gifs are now okay as long as they don't get resized. I don't believe this was the case few weeks ago. Is this the same behavior you experienced webchick?

This would be solved by http://drupal.org/node/119585 if implemented.
