    Yes,no problem. Yahoo no longer provides avatars however you can create one from other free sites see the links below.If you are on wireless you must wait until you are on a computer.

    Choose either a cartoon or a photo avatar you had saved to your pc.

    Create a personal avatar below not a moving or large one, right click and save it to your computer pc.http://laughingsquid.com/faceyourmanga-c%E2%80%A6

    Now,follow these directions from Yahoo closely.

    Close and reopen your browser or reboot. and your avatar should be showing If your avatar isn't showing try resizing it to make it smaller.

    Yes, you should be able to get upload a profile picture. First, you must be on a computer, and not a mobile device. See this Help page for more info:

    Adding or personalizing your profile image - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD...

    If you aren't getting an "upload" option, it's a glitch. Try clearing your cookies, cache, and history, restart your computer, and try again, or on a different browser. It's been going on for months and months and Yahoo hasn't done anything about it, so all you can do is wait it out.

    Yes you can.

    AVATAR

    At this time you can not upload a picture from a mobile device, perhaps that will change in the future.

    For now profile changes must be made from a computer.

    Go here , http://profile.yahoo.com/ top center put the arrow on your avatar or !, click change picture.

    From there you can upload a Picture from your computer or import a picture from facebook. When finished click submit on the next page. Sometimes it dose not automatically go back to,

    http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about and sometimes the image dose not automatically change, click submit at the bottom of the page and it will change.

    ********

    Yahoo Answers did away with their Avatar Maker.

    If you want a custom avatar go to one of these sites and make a custom avatar, save it to your computer and upload it as a picture.
