Why don't people show their avatars? avatars are much cooler then the little smiley face deale bobs?

It doesnt happen like that. I have tried umpteen times.

Some people might don't know about it, too lazy for it, etc. Or perhaps, they don't like avatars, and is unable to create yahoo 360 because they're under age 18, and thus unable to display their own pictures.

this is a stupid question... who agrees? its up to US whether we set a frickin avatar, some of us arnt 13 years old and find these stupid features amazing...

I have my avatar showing

You want people to use avatars? Who says I haven't tried? Tell Yahoo to build a system that works properly. You can't add an avatar if you aren't using the web browser they tell you to. I run Lose2000 WITHOUT Infernal Exploder on my computer (it *can* be done) and I *WON'T* put that virus on my PC. My browser works fine and meets W3C specs (www.w3.org). It's Yahoo's system that's FUd, not mine. Only someone too lazy to think - or is just plain stupid - would criticize people for not doing something optional, especially something that can't be done. Next time, "randdumb chick", be sure your brain is engaged before putting your mouth into gear.

the avatars r way better...thanx for the points..and i dont know y ppl dont put it on...they're lazy i guess

I prefer my gray smiley face Hands down to my Avatar.

Well probably because they don't know how to make them. It doesn't seem that obvious that you have to click on it, i had to teach my mum how to do it and she's been on Yahoo much longer than I have. Hey my avatar looks like my OLD one!

Maybe some people don't want to take the time and make one. Why does it matter anyways? I know it looks more colorful with the little faces, but it doesn't matter.
