Could someone please tell me how to choose an avatar?

Question

I have to spend 5 points because I don't know how to find one

Answer 1

Here's the scoop. You can use a regular cartoon avatar or choose to use your own picture; it's up to you!

To use something other than the standard Yahoo avatar cartoon people you'll need a Yahoo! 360 account.

Here's specific instructions for both kinds of avatars.
===================

If you want to use one of the cartoon 'avatars' then it's a two step process

1) Create your avatar
You can go here, http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit
And in the "Picture" section, click on the "Edit my Yahoo! avatar" link

2) Display your avatar on Answers
You can go here, http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit
in the Picture section, select "Use My Yahoo Avatar"

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 avatar option in Answers for a day or two.

=================
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
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

To just change your avatar, go to:

http://avatars.yahoo.com/

Be sure to click Save Changes when you're done.

Good luck and have fun!

(P.S. You'll get 3 pts back once you choose the best answer)
