<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So sorry to hear this is happening! I took a look at your campaign and can see exactly what you are describing. In fact, your gif only plays once in both your campaign and the Library itself. Was this a gif you created yourself? There is a setting when creating a gif that will cause it to play only once instead of in a loop. However if you take a look at your library you will now see a Support Copy of your gif.&nbsp;Out of a courtesy this&nbsp;Support Copy has been edited so it may continuously loop correctly. I hope this helps!</p>]]></content:encoded>

Do you have any ideas as to why the looping would be disabled or compromised somewhere along the road in exporting&nbsp;the file &amp; uploading to Constant Contact? We're new to CC but have made lots of GIFs for use in email before, and are familiar with setting them to loop infinitely. If you have any exporting or uploading best practices, we'd appreciate it. Thank you!</p>]]></content:encoded>
