    If you want to use one of the cartoon 'avatars' then It's a two step process

    1) Create your avatar

    Go to your Answers profile page http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit

    In the 'Picture' section, click on "Edit My Avatar"

    That takes you to the Avatars site where you can create your avatar

    2) Display your avatar on Answers

    Back on your Answers profile page, http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit

    In the Picture section, select "Use My Yahoo Avatar"

    =================

    If you want to use some other pic or a photo, then this requires a 360 account and this is a 3 step process

    1) Create your Yahoo! 360 account at http://360.yahoo.com/

    Note: You need to be 18 or older to open a 360 account.

    So far, this is the only option if you want to use some other picture or photo. The only three options for pics you have on your Answers profile is no pic, Yahoo avatar, or 360 picture.

    2) Upload a couple of pictures to your 360 page.

    On your 360 page, select "My Page" from the top.

    Select "Edit Personal Photos" on the left hand side.

    Browse to your saved photo(s) (in jpeg format) to upload it.

    This link will take you right to the 360 upload page, http://upload.360.yahoo.com/edit/photos.html

    Select the "Set as Primary" button next to the photo want displayed on other sites (like Answers) and select "Save"

    3) Display your 360 picture on Answers

    Go to your Answers profile, http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit

    In the "Picture" section, select "Use my Yahoo! 360 Picture"

    =================

    Finally, for either of these options, a little patience is required. There have been many reports from other users that it takes up to a day or two for these changes to show up in Answers. This is true for using a new avatar or pic and for an update to an avatar. So, if the option to display your avatar doesn't show right away or if modifications don't happen immediately, just hang on. It should show up eventually.
