My problem is that the effects are not showing at all. I've tried on my computer, and on my phone and it's the same result. It's also the same result whether I'm logged in or not.
It doesn't show any change, and when I open the effect's game database page, it doesn't show me any preview on the right hand side like it normally would. The announcement page's demo examples were just static dragons the whole way down.
I've turned off browser add ons, confirmed that the effect option is turned on in my account, and when I have one put on a dragon, it gives me the Pause option under it as if it's in place.

Mobile user here, and it appears I'm having the same problem as many others. Sheen, Flutterby, and Sunrise, Moonrise animate, however the others are only visible as a static version of the effect. I'm using Android and this occurs with both Firefox and DuckDuckGo, and I have no settings that should affect this feature nor any pending updates. These issues persist across the whole site, and it does not appear to be a lag issue.
In addition, when I was browsing this thread last night I came across this post which mentioned that with Flutterby the butterflies are supposed move around in addition to flap their wings and that with Sunrise, Moonrise the sun / moon is supposed to move—neither of these happen for me and I did not know those were even part of the effect until reading that post and then confirming it was accurate with other people. I suspect other mobile users are having the same issue without knowing it when stating that Flutterby and Sunrise, Moonrise are functional; and I wonder if the mixed reports among mobile users regarding the functionality of Sheen may also be a result of not knowing exactly what it is supposed to look like. It would be super helpful if a detailed description (including the duration of the animation cycle) and / or a gif of each effect were posted so we can compare them to what is displaying on our end and be certain that they are actually functioning as intended.
Effect: Sheen - appears to be functioning as intended to the best of my knowledge.
Effect: Flutterby - the butterflies flap their wings but they do not move around the dragon.
Effect: Sunrise, Moonrise - animation partially works however the sun does not move and the moon never appears, and upon reaching dawn it abruptly stops, goes dark, and the landscape disappears with the sun continuing to remain in its fixed position.
The following display only a static image of the effect:
Effect: Beryl Plunge
Effect: Dearly Departed
Effect: Flecks o' Foil
Effect: Glitz
Effect: Pastel Pulse
Effect: Possessed Possessions
Effect: Shimmerscale
Effect: The Void Stares Back

Throwing in my report on the same static effect issue - I really don't think that old or new OS is the issue:
Laptop - everything moves, checked on two browsers:
OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (64-bit) (old as balls)
Browser: Chromium Version 90.0.4430.72 (also very old)
Browser: Firefox 135.0 (64-bit) (up to date version)
Phone - all apparel or full coverage effects appear to move but none of the dragon-only effects do anything, they appear static. Also checked on both browsers to see the same results:
OS: Android 14 (there's a newer 15th version but 14 is still fully supported and updated, it's not out of date)
Browser: Chrome 133.0.6943.49 64-bit
Browser: Firefox 135.0
So ironically my laptop that's one step away from being exhibited in the History museum is more suitable for the effects than my reasonably new fully up to date phone... that's running the same browser with the same version in one of the checks.

You know, you are fully right - I see the exact same effect, that's why I labelled them as "moving" in my report: they flap but do not move on my phone too.

Found a bug on [item=Effect: Sunrise, Moonrise] I've not seen anyone else point out:
[effect dragon=93089927] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/93089927](Link to dragon)[/url]
Equipping this effect to a dragon using silhouette scroll causes the effect to use the incorrect lineart & shadows. Easiest to see at the start of the animation loop while the image is brightest.
Seems to do this for all silhouette scroll using dragons regardless of breed from what I can test. [Also tested on a few of my other sil-scroll users]
Seems to be similar to whatever is going on with pastel pulse. Just the effect managed to keep the lines within the canvas space correctly.
Day destroys the night, night divides the day. This item overlays a dragon, with the sun and moon circling over the distant horizon. As each celestial body transits, so do the colors of the dragon, from vibrant morning to the umbra of night. Like apparel, skins, and scenes, effects are purely cosmetic items that can be added and removed from dragons at any time.

in the icons for effects, the type indicator boxes have some discrepancies along the bottom edge. very noticeable at a distance that they're not all straight lines.. unsure if this goes here

Sunrise, Moonrise consistently does not match the linework on any and all sil scrolled dragons I have, this might be consistent across all dragon effects

looking through this thread this appears to be an issue with pastel pulse on dragons with the silhouette swapped; lineart and shadows of their default pose over the effect applied to the intended pose.

also adding in mobile chrome most of the effect animations do not play, and the first few previews in the announcement don't show up at all but display as failed to load. this is a consistent issue across the site regardless of where the effect is "played"; sheen is the only one that appears to work as intended. no reduced motion settings on my end, android v.14, chrome v.133.0.6943.49

Another Firefox user on Win 10 reporting in with no animations!
I'm on 64 bit version 135, and have gone into my about.config to ensure webgl is enabled in both regular and troubleshooting mode, with and without my extensions active. And I made sure that my Flight Rising settings had animations enabled, too!
Other animations show just fine (like the animated cute corgi banner in this forum sig - https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/bug/3397599/8#post_58435113), but none of the new Effects do.
When I go to a dragon with an Effect on, there's a big pause button... but clicking it does nothing at all.
[/quote]
Follow up to this - as another user suggested, I went into my Windows settings, Ease of Access, and turned Windows Animations on. And lo, the Effects did animate and the buttons did work.
I'd really prefer not to do it that way, because I am not a fan of Windows itself deciding to be flashy and animated, but it does fix the animations on dragon Effects when no amount of tweaking my browser settings could.
Is there any way to have pretty effects on our beloved dragons in-browser without having to let the whole darn operating system show off whatever it wants?
Edit: new bug!
I think it's not just Effects that don't work with Marva's Invisibility Cloak any more!
I went to check the hibernal boy that's my profile pic, and while he's invisible as normal in regular view, he becomes abruptly very visible as soon as I switch to scenic. He doesn't have an Effect on him, but the cloak was working fine before the update.
Has something in the update affected the Invisibility Cloak in general?
