more or less I think I found the issue I'm having: when you have an element that uses the freezeframe class, and this element is hidden on load, if you attempt to show that element, it doesn't show the element in full. it just shows the loading image
the easiest way of resolving this issue is by simply reloading the page on click. issue is... with the about page, everything is on that page and is just hidden/shown based on the section you click on.
what this means is that when I click on an element that has the javascript to execute location.reload() on click, it doesn't load that section and reload the page. it just reloads the page entirely..
there is also having javascript that runs new Freezeframe() on clicking an element. this DOES load the paused gif frame behind the loading animation, but never loads the actual gif
