How do you get pictures on the yahoo answer thing?

[Mistie]

[echinopsis .]

Go to the website or pic on the website that you want to link to and open it. The url will be displayed in your browser window, click into it, thereby marking it. Copy the url, now you can insert it in your question or answer or in your mail. Make sure you have a blank space before and after the url, otherwise it won't be clickable.

If you want to link to a pic which you have saved on your computer, you must get a free account with Flickr for example (belongs to Yahoo), upload your pic and then proceed as described above.
http://www.flickr.com/

Note 1: linking to a picture and asking a somewhat personal "hot or not" question is violating the chatting rules, so please be careful...:-)

Note 2: As of July 2009, YA has disabled posting of clickable links for level 1 users to prevent the creation of fake accounts for the sole purpose of spreading spam and malware. You can still post your links, but they aren't clickable until you reach level 2.

Or do you mean your avatar? If so...

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.
