how do you get pic's in stead of your avatar?

Answer 1

If you want to use some other pic or a photo, then this requires a 360 account and this is a 3 step process.

1) You'll need to create your Yahoo! 360 account. http://360.yahoo.com
NOTE: Currently, you have to be 18 or older to get a 360 account.
So far, this is the only option if you want to use some other picture or photo.
The only three options for pics you have on your Answers profile is no pic, Yahoo avatar, or 360 picture.

2) You'll need to upload one or more pictures to your 360 page.
On your 360 page, select "My Page" from the top
Select "Edit Personal Photos" on the left hand side
Browse to your saved photo(s) (assuming you have one or more ready) to upload it.
This link will take you there http://upload.360.yahoo.com/edit/photos.html
Select the "Set as Primary" button next to the photo want displayed on other sites (like Answers) and select "Save"

3) You'll need to display your 360 picture on Answers
Go to your "My Q&A" page, select "Edit My Info"
In the "Picture" section, select "Use my Yahoo! 360 Picture"
This link will get you to that page, http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit

And, lastly, have a little patience. It is being reported by some users that the changes do not take effect immediately. They don't see the option to choose the pic in Answers for a day or two.

Answer 2

First, you have to know where the photo is that you want to upload. It should be something you have saved in a folder on your computer. I put mine in a folder on my desktop, and call the folder "Pics". Anything that I see on the net that I can legally copy and like goes into that folder. I also have sub folders in it that are pics of me, my car, my family - anything I might want to share on the internet. Two guidelines do apply - the pics must be in .jpg format (no .gif or .bmp pics, etc.) and they must each be under 3 MB in file size.

Now that you have pics to share, and can easilly find them, you are ready to replace your avatar.

Starting from your home page, move your mouse to the tabs across the top of the page, and click on "My Page."

From "My Page" look just above your avatar, and click on "Edit Personal Photos".

Now, follow the directions given (which may change from time to time) for how to upload the picture you want to use to represent you to the Yahoo! 360 community. You can have up to 4, and you can choose which one to set as your primary if you do upload more than one.

Answer 3

You have to have your photo loaded on your computer. Then go to my account, preferences section, and you can choose to have your pic instead of the avatar.
