You can upload a photo, use a Yahoo! cartoon, or use one from Facebook or Twitter as your avatar.
I have heard that Facebook or Twitter avatars along with Yahoo must be jpg but I have not been able to verify it. STEP 1. Your profile is currently HIDDEN. In order for your avatar to appear you may have to make your Yahoo! Profile visible. Try the other steps and come back here if it does not appear. Go to: http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/ and make sure the profile is not hidden. 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. You have 3 choices of where to choose the photo to use. ✔ While at http://avatars.yahoo.com click on "Yahoo!" under "Export your Avatar". ✔ Go to your Yahoo! Answers settings at http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about and click on "Update photo or avatar". ✔ Go to your Yahoo! Profile at http://profile.yahoo.com and click on the current avatar. Upload one or choose an existing one. The same avatar is used throughout Yahoo!. [The cartoon avatar from step 3 is does not appear as a choice in the Yahoo! Profile. Use one of the other 2 methods. If any other problems occur always try the other methods.] NOTE: Procedures on a portable device may be different. I can not help you with that. ℬ ℋ Ads |

Have fun, and be SURE you click the "Save changes" button. I highly recommend saving your avatar to My favorite avatars as well, because you will not have to start all over again when you want to change something later on. If Yahoo had a plus size lab coat, i would put that on my Favorite avatar. Do NOT COUINT on your avatar changing. I have NOT been able to update my avatar since the end of MAY. Until Yahoo fixes the "eternal" YA avatar glitches, I'm not obsessing over my avatar. |
