How do I change my avatar to an actual picture of myself?

How do I change it on that my yahoo avatar shows an actual picture of myself?

  • and how do I change it so that people can email and IM me and be able to view my 360 profile?

  • 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/image 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. ©

I don't know how to get the the picture as your avatar but for people to e mail you go to your profile and go to edit my info located next to your bar graph. scroll down to privacy and click the people may IM you and e mail you. you have to put a check next to them
