• Answer:

  If you want a cartoon avatar then follow this link.... http://avatars.yahoo.com// and follow the instructions there....... If you want to create a unique avatar (and you don't have one already) then you need to get a Yahoo! 360(follow this link) http://360.yahoo.com once you have that..... ☆On your 360 page, select *My Page* at the top right hand side. ☆Select *Edit Personal Photos* on the left hand side(this will take you to the photo upload page). ☆Select Browse(this will allow you to choose from the pictures you have saved to your computers harddrive),select which one you wish to use as your avatar by clicking on it and select open(the picture you use MUST be in JPEG format and less than 5MB) scroll down to the bottom of the page and select save. ☆You will have to then re-select edit personal photos and set it as the primary photo and then scroll down and save. Now you need to go to your Answers profile page http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my;_ylt=AtnV... ☆Select Edit My Info on your profile page.There are 3 photo boxes there,underneath the middle one click Use my Yahoo! 360 picture.Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Preview. ☆On the new page that has just opened for you (Edit My Profile Preview) scroll down to the bottom and click OK That's it you have changed the picture you display,it may take a little while for the new avatar to show (sometimes it is instantaneous,but more often than not it takes a day or two) =)
