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.

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.
Note: if you are on a mobile, you need to switch to desktop mode first in order for this to work.
Important: starting April 1st, 2013, you can no longer create Yahoo cartoon avatars. If you like any of your already existing avatars and want to keep them, go to the Avatars download page: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD_ACCT&page=content&id=SLN8404 .
