If you open the final Gif in photoshop it will only display one frame, you will need to open it with another program.
I use 'Irfanview', its free and opens most file types.

Hope this helps

when you did everything oke and save as pakimo says, just put it in your documents and it will open in windows vieuwer, when you also transmit into photobucket you can put the link to here true image code, copy and glue

you gotta save optimised

check here:

first optimize to file size:


Then select "save optimized as..."


Then make sure all setting are set to GIF stuff, select your location and save


You should then have your GIF:
