How do you use your yahoo avatar in yahoo answers?

[Yikes]

Make your avatar.
http://avatars.yahoo.com/welcome.php

Or else upload a picture to your profile . Right click your user name, [Or My Activity] then edit my preferences. edit my picture. Years ago you also had to scroll down to the bottom and check apply or something. [its been so long that i can't remember.]

Now a recent change is that it is connected to your Yahoo profile. You can not hide your profile. Your avatar will then be hidden. It must be made to allow others to see your profile. However for Yahoo answers you can click your Yahoo answers user name and hide your email, and hide your questions from everyone except contacts.
