Change avatar to picture?

Question

how do i change my yahoo avatar to a picture like some people have

Answer 1

When you change the avitar it does not appear changed it looks like the old one. Don't beat up your computer, when you change it it is changed and if you finish up and go back to where your profile is it will reflect the switch. Same Same when you go to a picture I assume.

Answer 2

If you want to use a picture instead of your Yahoo! Avatar on Yahoo! Answers, you could use a picture found on a website, or use your personal photo. The picture must be in the JPEG format (JPEG files usually end with ".jpeg" or ".jpg" or ".jpe."), each image must be smaller than 5MB. If you want to use one found on a website, right click on it, and on the pop-up menu click Save Picture As, and save it to My Pictures or wherever you want to save it, or use one you already have saved, or scan one to your computer.

If the picture you want to use is not jpeg, jpg or jpe, save it anyway, right click the picture and on the popup menu point to Open With > click Paint > click File > click Save As > click the down arrow where it says Save as type and select JPEG, click Save.



Once you have a picture saved that you want to use, go to your Yahoo! 360°, go to My Page on your Yahoo! 360° and click Edit Personal Photos, click Browse and browse My Pictures (or wherever you have it saved) and find the picture and click on it and it will be sent to your Yahoo! 360°, click Save. Go to My Page on your Yahoo! 360° and click Edit Personal Photos, on the page that opens click Set as primary and click Save.

If you don't have a Yahoo! 360°, click Get my Yahoo! 360° account now! on your Yahoo! Answers Edit My Info page, and open a Yahoo! 360°, or click here. http://360.yahoo.com/

Now go to Yahoo! Answers and your Yahoo! Answers profile (click My Q&A, My Profile, or your nickname to get to your profile), click Edit My Info, on the page that opens tick Use my Yahoo! 360 Picture, click Preview, and on the next page that opens click OK.
