Answer 2

You will need a Yahoo! 360°. If you don't have a Yahoo! 360°, click Get my Yahoo! 360° account now! on your Yahoo! Answers Edit My Info page, and open a Yahoo! 360°, or click here. http://360.yahoo.com/

If you have a picture saved on your computer that you want to use, go to your Yahoo! 360°, go to My Page on your Yahoo! 360° and click Edit Personal Photos, click Browse and browse My Pictures (or wherever you have it saved) and find the picture and click on it and it will be sent to your Yahoo! 360°, click Save. Go to My Page on your Yahoo! 360° and click Edit Personal Photos, on the page that opens click Set as primary and click Save.

The picture must be in the JPEG format (JPEG files usually end with ".jpeg" or ".jpg" or ".jpe."), each image must be smaller than 5MB. If the picture you want to use is not jpeg, jpg or jpe, right click the picture and on the popup menu point to Open With > click Paint > click File > click Save As > click the down arrow where it says Save as type and select JPEG, click Save.

Now go to Yahoo! Answers and your Yahoo! Answers profile (click My Q&A, My Profile, or your nickname to get to your profile), click Edit My Info, on the page that opens tick Use my Yahoo! 360 Picture, click Preview, and on the next page that opens click OK.

You can also click this link to get to your Edit My Profile page and then follow the above directions. http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit

Answer 3

You can add to 360 but I would not recommend you out your own photo on this site,especially if you are young and impressionable

Answer 4

click on your blank photo. If you already have an avatar, you should just click on "use my Yahoo avatar pic". Or if you have a 360 picture, just click on "use my 360 picture." Other than that, i have no idea.

Hope that helped.
