How to make your yahoo! profile picture a cartoon version of you?

I need this. I really want a yahoo profile pic that is like a cartoon. I saw this a lot of times on most people's.

Ok. First search for Yahoo Avatars. Then create your avatar (if you want to change genders, save avatar, then click Change Gender. It will give you a default picture of a girl). If you have a Facebook or Twitter, it would be useful for the next step. I normally let Yahoo automaticly send my avatar to Facebook. Then I go on my Facebook and save the picture. Then I go onto my Yahoo file and change my picture to my avatar. I hope this helps!

You can use a photo or a Yahoo! cartoon avatar, 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.

If you want a cartoon avatar, go here to create one: http://avatars.yahoo.com/ - then click on "Yahoo!" under "Export your Avatar".

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/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: you need to use a desktop computer in order to change your avatar, you can't do it with a mobile.
