How do you add a cartoon face to your account?

Question

I have noticed that most everyone has a cartoon type face next to their name. How do I go about getting one?

Answer 1

*Go to http://avatars.yahoo.com

*When you get there click "Preferences" to choose male or female.

*Click save after you choose.

*Then you can create what you want to look like. Appearance, apparel, extras, etc.

*Look around at the sub categories, face, hair, eyes, all categories have numbered pages, so take your time.

*As you are trying thing you will see in the avatar pane. When you like it, click "Save Changes". You can save things to Favorites for another time.

*Now, come back to Yahoo Answers. Click the "My Profile" link to the upper right of this Yahoo Answers page, then click "Edit My Info" in the top left box on the Answers profile page. Scroll down to the image section and check the option of showing your avatar. Click Preview and then the OK button.

Answer 2

It's called your Yahoo Avatar, and I was confused at first, too!

Here is where you can edit yours:

http://avatars.yahoo.com/

Make sure you save it when you're done!  Then, go to "my profile" and click "edit my profile."  There will be a section called "picture" with three options.  Select the one with your avatar and save the settings.  Have fun!
