How I fixed...

Well, originally it was like this:
as you can see. everything that was white, became transparent. This is when I had Ingrid do it. well, recently, while using PSP7(still have 3 days left to use it) I noticed another way to make a GIF transparent. USually, you would make a background color, then when you export the GIF, tell it to make that color transparent. Another way is you select the areas you want to make transparent. when you go to export it, you can choose to make everything within the current selections Transparent. Well, I opened animation shop 3(comes with PSP7) and opened my original version. I then one by one, exported each frame to PSP7, then selected the areas I wanted, then exported them to a new folder with those selections transparent. soon I had 11 gifs, from a to k. I went to animation shop 3 and went to the animation wizard. well, I went thru that and made an Animation1.gif. Since Animation shop is confusing, and I would rather use something I've used before. I opened two windows of Microsoft GIF Animator. I opened the original in one, then Animation1.gif in the other. I went to the image tab on both. then went thru each frame, making sure the new one had the right frame length for each frame. once I had done that, I saved it, renamed it to the old file, and overwrote the old file. I then uploaded it to homesteal, left the bad transparent one there and wrote this thing.
LMAO! I said Homesteal!!!

Well, actually, I did it the way it should've been done first. doing it the way I did, you wouldn't need to Edit anything back in. See, since you can make only certain areas transparent, there's no need to actually have to edit it nore then necessary. I took the shorter editing route, since after editing them once, I only had to rebuild the animation and make sure the time for each frame was correct. You way equalls two sessions of editing. my way equalls one since it was made transparent corectly the first time.

and also doing it your way has a chance of causing it to load the transparency as a color that also exists in the image and would mess it up even more
