How do I make my yahoo avatar my profile picture?

You can use a photo or a Yahoo! cartoon avatar, and if you have a Facebook or Twitter account, you can also use those avatars.

Go to: http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/ - make sure your profile isn't hidden, because if it is, your avatar won't show.

If you want a cartoon avatar, go here to create one: http://avatars.yahoo.com/ - then click on "Yahoo!" under "Export your Avatar".

In case you want to use a Facebook or Twitter avatar, you need to link those accounts in the Profile options.

http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/linked-account...

You have several options in case you want a photo avatar:

a) go to your Yahoo! Answers settings at http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about , click "Update photo or avatar",

b) go to your Yahoo! Profile at http://profile.yahoo.com/ , click on the current avatar.

Now upload a picture or choose one of the pics you've uploaded previously.

Click "My Activity" at top of page

Select "Edit My Preferences"

Click "Update photo or avatar"

Follow instructions to select your photo/avatar

Click "Submit" on bottom of original page when done

To make a carton avatar:

http://avatar.yahoo.com/

Make sure your profile is not hidden.
