TO GET A PHOTO/CUSTOM PICTURE AS YOUR AVATAR.

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.

Some users are experiencing a problem with the avatar showing or appearing then disappearing, since yahoo upgraded the site and continue with the work. You may need to load the avatar again and check the settings. It can take some time to show but it will eventually so try to be patient.
