    These are what are known as animated gifs. They are made up from several images which display in sequence.

    There are lots of sites offering free avatars - just google free animated avatar

    Remember, there is a maximum size for your avi, that could be why it wont move on this site.

    Jamla's avatar is a jpeg file. Only gif files can be animated. If a file is too big then most forums simply won't accept the upload.
