Changing an avatar that is a GIF is the same as changing it if it was a PNG or JPG. Just head to your profile and click "Change" on your avatar then uploaded from your computer or paste the link of the picture where it says "Enter the URL" But remember, the forums has a 100KB limit for avatars, so you may be going over the limit causing your gif not to move. You can try uploading and resizing the GIF here to 200 x 200 pixels to see if it works, if not, the gif is just simply too big and you'll have to find another.

I wasn't able to get my avatar to work until I resized it to 150x150. Otherwise it would cycle once and stop. Try not to use very detailed or excessively long .gifs as they may exceed the maximum file size.
