I have a slider on the home page that works great with couch except for animated gifs. When I upload the gif everything looks great in the preview. When I click save the animation disappears. Any idea what would cause this?

I think that is because the uploaded images are getting resized on the server (and this will turn the animated GIFs into plain GIFs).
To prevent them from getting resized, you'll have to remove the 'width' and 'height' parameters from the type 'image' editable region being used for the images. This way, the uploaded images will not be processed in any manner on the server. Of course, now you'll have to manually resize all images yourself before uploading them.
