I click on post images icon, fill in the details and it adds them to my tumblr blog queue but as still-images and not animated gifs.

Can I get some help please ??
Are you pre-processing the GIFs?
change size / add watermark / reduce quality etc

If so, that will explain it as the pre-processing has to save out as jpeg. For posting GIFs you have to upload as is.

If not, let me know
Ahh right, well I was adding a watermark to the gif, so this might explain it. That's a shame, watermarking gives you greater exposure to the marketplace.

the issue is with how the actual file is structured. With a static image, it is just a case of writing the watermark into the image, but the complexity increase with gifs , hence is not supported unforunately
