Why Won't my GIF animation work? - Tilted Forum Project - TFP - Sexuality, Philosophy and Political Discussion

Hey oracles!

I've made this GIF animation which I'd like to use as an avatar here only it won't work. Well it did at first but when I compressed the GIF animation (to 19 KB - the max size of avatar pics) it suddenly doesn't work anymore!

I used ImageReady as usual, I've got XP installed on my com if that helps?!

Oh and while we're on the subject why can't I decide the scale of compression in ImageReady in the "4-up"? It only gives me the choice of the original size and then 5 KB for each of the other three compressions. I'm able to define the quality of the compression when I save for web in PS but I can't seem to do that in ImageReady.

Help!

Can you post the gif here? Does it animate when you view it in IE?
