i think if your animated gif is over a certain size, or gets resized automatically, the format is not gif89a? (animated?), it's a different gif;
double check you r gif you are using doesn't exceed that max size /max width/height stuff.
that's the headbang gif, right? i know it's good sized, i have that somewhere locally....funny as heck.
