i did use transparent pixels to make it.
btw; the original size was 94 x 106 pixels, i used 80 x 90 pixels in the forums. could that be the reason?

nah it would just make it automatically change the size. Can you maybe just make a different colour background?

These aren't trasparent pixels. Gif supports only basic trasparency, not partly trasparent pixels. So if you've set white pixels to be trasparent without setting the right tolerance limit, only pure white will be trasparent.
Just open it and fix the borders around the guy; maybe use as traparent colour something like bright purple so you can see what pixels will be trasparent and whose not.

Which is, of course, what this is all about.

Evolution, Morpheus. Evolution.

Like the dinosaur.

Look at that window. GIF's have had their time.
