Thanks

Please make it easy to understand

Answer 1

FOR REAL PICTURES:

For your own picture you will need to set up a Yahoo! 360 page at

http://360.yahoo.com/

There is a minimum age limit of 18 with some restrictions till age 18.

For anyone under 18 the same restrictions apply there as here, you can only sign up under a family account.

After you open up your 360 page, click on the “My Page” link near the top of the page.

On the left side of that page you will see a link that says “Edit Personal Photos”, click on that.

You will see 4 boxes to upload photos or pics. If you are going to want to use your Yahoo! Avatar on your 360 page sometimes, in the 1st box click on the “add your Yahoo! Avatar” link. It will automatically add your Yahoo! Avatar if you had made one already. Otherwise, go ahead and click on the browse button find the pic you have stored on your computer, click open, and then click on the save button at the bottom of the page. It will automatically save the 1st box as your primary pic when you upload. If you wish to display a pic from the other boxes click on the circle in that box that says “Set as primary” and save again.

When you return to your Edit profile page here on Yahoo! Answers you should see the avatar you uploaded to 360 and click the circle next to that and save the changes. (If you have kept your Edit Profile page open all this time, refresh it so it will display the changes you made)

*Note: Occasionally there is a glitch between 360 and Y!A where your 360 pic will not show. When that happens, I just switch to my Yahoo! Avatar. Until they straighten it out again.

I hope this helps.
