How do you replace your avatar with a picture from your file?

• I would like to know how to put a picture I have in my files up in place of my avatar. Thank you!

• 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. 1> 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.
