Yahoo no longer supports the creation of their cartoon avatars, sorry.

But 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.

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 > click edit my preferences near your current pic > 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.

Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the "Desktop" or mobile button FIRST.

You have to upload an image to YOUR hard drive from ANOTHER web page, including web pages where you can MAKE an avatar, BEFORE, Update photo hyperlink will work, and if The Yahoo server computers do not recognize your image file as being in the correct format, that's why you have to do everything twice. MY "Update photo" hyperlink in MY YA activity profile works.

To UPLOAD an image to YOUR hard drive, display the Image. RIGHT click on the image. Select "Save Image as" from the drop down menu. give the image a file name, AND pay attention to which folder on your hard drive you are saving this image too, Yes you can create folders inside of your "My Pictures" folder. Make SURE you save the image as either a .JPG or .GIF file.



1. Go to the YAHOO home page, NOT the YA homepage.

http://www.yahoo.com

2. Click your tiny little avatar. That will take you to your YAHOO profile page

3. Hover the cursor over the small image, then click the small image where and when it says "Change photo"

4. Click the "Upload" arrow. That should open a new window Where you can

5. Click the folder where your pictures are.

6. Click any sub-folders you may have to open them.

6/7. Click the photo you want to choose as your YAHOO AND YA avatar

That will change your YA avatar too. .
