How do you get your picture to show up, instead of the avatar?

• Can anbody PLEASE tell me how you can put a picture of yourself on the square thinger instead of the avatar???????????? thx in advanced:]

• Answer:

  If you want a photo/custom picture as your avatar you need to make a yahoo 360 account. http://360.yahoo.com/login.html?.done=http://360.yahoo.com/ The photo needs to be saved on your computer as a jpg file, don't worry about the size to much yahoo will adapt it. Then go to the following 4 steps. below 1> Go to your 360 page then click "my page” (top of page). 2> Click "edit personal photo" (on the left above photo window). 3> Click “browse” choose the photo from your photos click "save", Set as primary and "save". 4> Go to your “edit my profile” http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit click “use my yahoo 360 picture” scroll down and press "preview", and then "OK" in the next screen. And your done. Yahoo engineers are still working on improvements throughout all yahoo sites and some avatars may be slow to show (it could even be a day or so) so try to be patient. ©
