how to make a yahoo avatar?

[Tessy]

Is it still possible to make a yahoo avatar? and if it is how?

[Muffle Much]

Hover over the button that says "My Activity" then click on " Edit My Preferences", it will take you to another page, click on the link that says "Update Photo" then click on the link that says "Add Photo". It should take you to another page, click on your avatar and click on the gray button that says "Upload" then pick the photo you want and press save.

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.
