You have no avatar. What are you trying to use as it?

You're attempting to hotlink an image. You're going to need to find some alternate hosting, such as Imageshack or Photobucket, or wherever (yes, Bisqwit, I know, but I can't think of any goo image hosts now) to upload to. That site will not allow you to use that image out of their server.

Perhaps you need to copy the image to a server of your own controlling. They maybe can't afford it if hundreds of thousands of forum users all over the world load avatars from their server every second because people link directly to their server instead of copying the avatar to a server to each one's own controlling. (You know, when a image is displayed on a page, it needs to be loaded from its location. Here you're telling everyone's browser to load the avatar from www.avatarist.com, every time a post of yours is viewed.) Now it's off-topic, but I'd recommend you choose / make a personal avatar for yours instead of using a stock one like that goomba pic. People learn to associate avatars with posters, and if multiple people use the same avatar, there will be confusions.

If you are saving it as an animated-gif, then uploading that animated-gif to another place to host...then I'm not sure why it would stop being animated.

Tinypic is a great image hosting too. And i like the small url that he grants.

I'd be surprised if you could explain this post, and/or convince me of its relevance.

I tried puting this avatar that i modified for the holidays but as soon as i change its format Ex: from gif to png. It becomes motionless. I change it with Microsoft paint maybe thats the reason. Whatever it is im going nuts! But anyway Just the fact that its moving now is perfect.

But of course, since GIF is the only widespread image format supporting animation. How would you expect motion from still image formats? To add the hat to the avatar preserving its animation, you should use specific programs working with animation, since you'll be adding the hat to all frames of your gif. I use Adobe ImageReady, but if you don't want to crack nor buy it, there's still some free choices (GIMP?).
