Help with GIMP image editing

I am trying to make an image look Transparent or like a watermark.
This image has no background, I essentially want to lighten it up so when it is in the background it is not so overpowering.
When trying to use the opacity on the layer the image does nothing untill it goes under 50% where it just dissapears behind the alpha layer.
What am I doing wrong? I follow tutorials online and they all do the same thing, make my image disappear at under 50% opacity and do nothing above it.

Could it be that it is a GIF File, and it won't fade for some reason? I don't know I'm trying to save it as different image files but nothing is working. T.T
Go to Colour > Colour to Alpha and pick whatever the background colour is.
Alternately, post it here and I can do it for you.
edit: oh, if it's a GIF file, go to Image > Mode > RGB and then try my instructions again.
edit2: if you don't want to post it for everybody, you can PM it to me.
I had to create a new image to be able to get the Color to Alpha to show up, so I just dragged my image into this new image that allowed me to mess with the alpha color.
