1. Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Your Avatar. Your avatar can be a cartoon figure or a photo. The cartoon figure is also used in Yahoo Messenger and appears on some customized Yahoo pages. The photo appears in your Yahoo Profile, Yahoo 360 and Yahoo Answers. If you do not have an avatar then a cubical pumpkin face appears. № 1. If you want a cartoon figure then go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create or modify one and then go to № 3. № 2. If you would rather have a photo then you must load the picture 2 places. >First upload it to Yahoo 360 from your computer. If it is on the web then download it first. Create a Yahoo 360 account if you don't have one. You can get one at http://360.yahoo.com . Click on the "My Page" tab and then "Edit Personal Photos". You are allowed to upload up to four photos there from your computer. Mark the one you want to use as your avatar as primary. >Second Yahoo is soon replacing the Yahoo 360 profile with a general Yahoo profile. You must go to http://profiles.yahoo.com and upload the image there too. In the coming weeks Yahoo will replace the image from 360 with the image from the general profile. № 3. Now for either a cartoon or a photo save everything and go back to Yahoo Answers. Click on your old avatar in Yahoo Answers which brings you to your profile. Now go to "Edit My Info". You can pick the cartoon or photo to use. BE SURE TO PREVIEW AND SAVE (OK) THE PAGE AT THE BOTTOM. Shortcut: http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit ₪ ɦəlʞɹɐq ₪
