You can go to yahoo.com and on the left it will say sometimes avatar. You can change it there

You can upload a photo, use a Yahoo! cartoon, or use one from Facebook or Twitter as your avatar.
I have heard that Facebook or Twitter avatars along with Yahoo must be jpg but I have not been able to verify it.

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. If any other problems occur always try the other methods.]

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

Step by Step How To Create An Avatar:

After each choice you make that you want to keep, click Save Changes in the avatar pane, orange bar.

Then return to My Activity, click Edit My Preferences.
Under the new avatar click Use my Yahoo avatar, scroll to and click Submit.

If it doesn't show right away, give it some time, Yahoo has been having problems lately.
If you have your profile set to private, your avatar won't show on answers.

If you are unable to change the avatar gender, then go back and click Preferences, then click Delete an avatar. Save Changes.
Then go back and choose the gender of your choice, Save changes
