Click the "My Activity" tab
Click "Edit my Preferences" (to the right of your current avatar)
Click "Update photo or avatar" (also to the right of your current avatar)

if you cant find any of that, use Ctrl+F

Your avatar can be a cartoon or a photo. You can also use your Facebook or Twitter avatar. For an animated gif you should make it your Twitter avatar first.

STEP 1.
In order for your avatar to appear you must make your Yahoo Profile visible. That is done here:
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/
There is no reason to hide your profile. Nothing appears unless you enter it and turn a switch on. The name can be anything you want.

STEP 2.
If you want to use your Facebook or Twitter avatar be sure to link the sites in the Profile options.
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/linked-accounts/

STEP 3.
To create a cartoon avatar first go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create one.

STEP 4.
Click on the default avatar in Y!A and select "edit my preferences".
[shortcut: http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about ]
Click on "update photo or avatar" and a small window will open.
You can select the cartoon, Facebook, or Twitter avatar or upload your own photo.
After clicking "use selected photo" be sure to click "submit".
The same photo will appear in the Yahoo Profile.

For a pic or avatar.See the yahoo help here.http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/pulse/p… look under public photo and follow the instructions and job done. Make an avatar at http://avatars.yahoo.com Make sure your pulse is not set to private as that stops it from appearing,
