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.

After you save your Yahoo avatar you need to click on the Yahoo icon and Export your Avatar. You do that on the avatar home page http://avatars.yahoo.com
Next you go to your Profile page http://profile.yahoo.com
Hover your cursor over your current avatar - the grey box with the white sillouette of a human head
A window will appear at the bottom of your avatar that says Change Picture
When you click the window a new menu will open
Select your Yahoo avatar
