I'm trying to change my avatar and I have this hilarious gif with a man and a cat, but when I uploaded it on here, it wasn't moving at all. I see plenty of people that have a gif avatar, so I was wondering if anyone could help me on how to get mine to work.

I really don't know about the specs for the image. I only know that it's a GIF image. Here's the website where I got it from

I tried using the BBCode and HTML Formatted links for it, but it didn't work

Yes, you'll need to shrink that image down, or something.

Moved here ... also, large images are re-sized ... when an animated gif is resized, it loses its animation. I don't yet have a solution for this. Sorry.

Do you know where I can find a website to resize the GIFs? I went to some websites, but when I did it, either it didn't upload at all, or when I finished resizing it, the GIF didn't come out at all

I don't know any websites that can do it, but Adobe ImageReady or the equivalent that can make animated GIFs can do it...but that's probably not an alternative for you unfortunately.

It's an application. It's kinda expensive though, so I think you're out of luck for now.

Image ready is no longer made (though you may be able to find it used?), it's software capabilities were merged with photoshop (I think after CS2). Photoshop is $650. There is a 30 day free trial.
I believe you can also resize animated gifs in Gimp, which is a free software. http://gimp.org

Indeed, GIMP is a free graphic program and equivalent to Photoshop. You can open the gif into layers, than simply resize the whole thing and save it as animation again as shown in the tutorial link. It's a matter of 2 minutes. My avatar was animated (and several times resized to fit for all of my forums >.>) in GIMP as well. You may want to play a little with the animation speed when saving it. The default setting a little fast
