How do you use your picture instead of an avatar?

Question

I want to use my picture on my yahoo, like i want to see myself when i log onto my e-mail or inbox instead of seeing an avatar or even a gray box.

Answer 1

Only the cartoon avatar was available in email and it is being removed.

The avatar is the representation of you on Yahoo! Answers. It can be a cartoon figure or a photo.

1. If you want a cartoon figure then go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create or modify one and then go to part 3.

2. If you would rather have a photo then first pick one on your computer. If it is on the web then download it. Create a Yahoo 360 account if you don't have one. You can get one at http://360.yahoo.com . Click on the "My Page" tab and then "Edit Personal Photos". You are allowed to put four pictures there by following the instructions. Mark the one you want to use as primary.

3. Now for either a cartoon or a picture save everything and go back to Yahoo Answers. Click on your old avatar in Yahoo Answers which brings you to your profile. Now go to "Edit My Info". You can pick the cartoon or picture there to use.
