    In order to upload your own picture here, you need to sign in your Yahoo! 360 home page http://360.yahoo.com/ and then you will see there's no photo in your profile. Then you just need to:

    (1) Click on the button "My Page" on your right hand side,

    (2) Click on "Edit Personal Photos" which is then on your left hand side.

    Then you just follow the instruction and upload the photos you want and then after that you just check the option "Set as primary" and then click "Save".

    If you’ve finished uploading the picture(s)/ photo(s), then just come back to Yahoo! Answers http://answers.yahoo.com/ and then:

    (1) Click on your name (or your picture frame).

    (2) Click "Edit My Info" and you will see that you will have 3 options to choose.

    (3) Checked the one "Use My Yahoo 360 Picture".

    (4) Then click "Preview" at the bottom and then just click "Save" and it's done.

    And if you are having trouble about the size of your photos, you just need to click on the following website to resize them.

    Hope I helped.

    It's fairly simple. You'll need to create a Yahoo 360 account. While logged in, go here:

    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/

    Upload a picture of yourself from your computer's hard drive, and save on your page. Once you've done this, it will also save it on your Yahoo Answers Profile. Return to that.

    Click On "Edit my Info.", and then check off "Use my 360 picture as my Yahoo pic".

    Save, and that's it!

    Don't panic if it doesn't show up immediately... It should, but Yahoo's been having some glitches getting the new Answers Interface up, and the bugs should be worked out shortly. It might show up right away, though, so again, don't worry.. At most it'll take a couple of hours.

    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".
