How do you get a little picture on your profile ?

[Jackie]

I'm a girl and I was just wondering

[Yikes]

For yahoo avatar; http://avatars.yahoo.com/welcome.php

For other pictures, upload from your computer. Go into your profile click edit and click edit photo.

You must first change your profile from hidden to public or your avatar won't show. To do that:Click your avatar, click view pulse click settings top line. Under privacy click manage privacy settings uncheck hide my profile Click save. Then.
You could choose either a cartoon or a photo avatar

Cartoon, this way is fast, straight forward and easy. Go below, create your avatar and save. Then, click your current default avatar then click edit my preferences and you will see where to check use avatar.

You can upload any photo as your avatar or you can use the one from Facebook or Twitter.

Yahoo is currently making changes. It is not clear what the final results will be. The photos displayed in the Yahoo Answers settings can be different from the photos displayed at the Yahoo Profile. The Yahoo Profile does not show the cartoon avatar.

STEP 1.
Your profile is currently HIDDEN.
In order for your avatar to appear you must make your Yahoo Profile visible. That is done here:
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/
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 2 choices of where to choose the photo to use.

A. Go to your Yahoo Answers settings at http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about and click on "Update photo or avatar"
or
B. 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 not appearing as a choice in the Yahoo Profile. It may be a glitch so use the Yahoo Answers settings meanwhile.]

NOTE: Procedures on a portable device may be different. I can not help you with that.
