Does anyone know how to upload your own picture for an avatar instead of creating a yahoo avatar?

Question

Everytime i have to use a Yahoo created avatar instead of uploading my own picture from my computer. So if anyone knows please inform me. Thanks.

Answer 1

use the browse button to browse for your own photo

Answer 2

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=ht...

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  Ã¢Â€Âœuse my yahoo 360 picture” scroll down and press "preview", and then "OK" in the next screen.

And your done.

Yahoo are still doing maintenance throughout all yahoo sites and some avatars may be slow to show so try to be patient.
