You need to upload an image in either .GIF or .JPG to YOUR hard drive FIRST before you can upload an image as your Yahoo AND YA avatar. Different devices to it it differently. But the way I upload images to MY hard drive is to click the picture I want to upload, Then I get menu box and select "Save image as, I click the FOLDER IN the "My Pictures" folder I want to save the image to, give the image a file name, then click "Save."

To upload your image as your avatar:

1. Click either your avatar OR the "My activity" tab

2. Click the ""Edit my preferences" hyperlink

4. Click the "Update photo" hyperlink.
,
5. Click the Add photo. hyperlink. You should get a box with 'Browse "button" where you can find the image file you want to upload.

6.Click either the file name or or an appropriate button to upload To Yahoo.

7. In the Select photo" box Click the photo you want to use as your avatar. You might need to re-size the image. If there's dashed line around the image, pull in either the cornered or sides so the photo "fits " within the dashed lines.

8. Click the "Use selected" button

CLEAR YOUR CACHE if none of the buttons work. Don't thumb down my answer just because you've never done computer maintenance all by yourself before. I learned the hard way what not doing computer maintenance does to your computer and cell phone.

. Go to view my Yahoo profile, click edit then click change picture. It will tell you to upload a pic from your computer and what size it should be. Just follow the instructions. Make sure your pulse is not set to private as that stops it from appearing, If this fails then it is due to the glitch many users have noticed. Yahoo are aware of it and are supposed to be sorting it.

You can use a photo avatar or a cartoon avatar from another site, 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.

In case you want to use a Facebook or Twitter avatar, you need to link those accounts in the Profile options.
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/linked-accounts/

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 1: if you are on a mobile, you need to switch to desktop mode first in order for this to work.

Note 2: Yahoo no longer supports the creation of their cartoon avatars - it may still work for a few users, but the support was said to stop April 1. And no, this is no joke, the matter was announced quite a while ago...
