Yahoo Answers is not designed to have a conversation. There is supposed to be a question and an answer. If someone does not understand the question they are supposed to skip it or try to email the asker. The asker of the question can add additional information to the question under the edit menu under the question. You are not supposed to directly converse with a person answering question. You must click on their avatar and see if they allow email.

Many people will ask a question in their answer and the asker will respond in the additional information. That is technically not allowed and the question and answer can both be reported for a chatting violation.

When the asker picks the best answer there will be a comment window where you can comment or give thanks for the answer.

You can upload a photo, use a Yahoo! cartoon, or use one from Facebook or Twitter as your avatar.

STEP 1.
Your profile is currently visible.
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.]

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