it's too large, dimension wise with too many frames

you can shrink it with Gif Movie Gear, drop the colour palette down and use some code to expand it, that'll sort you out.

# There's a fairly good guide to optimising GIFs in Adobe Imageready
here: flylib.com/books/en/2.817.1.150/1/

To be honest, it's normally just a case of playing with the settings until you get a sufficiently file size.

You'll use some of the quality, but with a decent GIF like your one above it'll still make people laugh :)

I don't know if it's just me, but image shack images never cache, so everytime I hit refresh it has to download from scratch every time, and with 4mg on a slow conection, frezzing my aging PC and not letting anything else on the page load properly, it makes b3ta a little unusable..

But alls sorted now ;-)
