TO GET A PHOTO/CUSTOM PICTURE AS YOUR AVATAR.
If you want a photo/custom picture as your avatar you need to make a yahoo 360 account. http://360.yahoo.com/login.html?.done=http://360.yahoo.com/

The photo needs to be saved on your computer as a jpg file, don’t worry about the size to much yahoo will adapt it.

1> Click “my page” (top of page).

2> Click “edit personal photo” (on the left above photo window).

3> Click “browse” choose the photo from your photos click “save”, Set as primary and “save”.

4> Go to your “edit my profile” http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit click “use my yahoo 360 picture” scroll down and press “preview”, and then “OK” in the next screen.

Yahoo engineers are still working on improvements throughout all yahoo sites and some avatars may be slow to show (it could even be a day or so) so try to be patient.

First you have to create a Yahoo! 360 account. You can find a link at the mid bottom of your yahoo page where the tab says more services. Once you have created your account you can upload your images to this account and set one as the default image. Be sure to save or it will not take effect. Good Luck!

Go to your profile (justtap the picture think that is now there) and choose to make a 360 profile. Part of that is making an Avatar or browing your file for a picture of your choice. Then tag that pic as the active one. it will go to all your yahoo stuff.
