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. Then go to the following 4 steps. below
1> Go to your 360 page then 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.
And your done.
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.

onece you have uploded it you have to click on the box that says to use that one as your YA pic. Your avatar can be a cartoon figure or a photo.
1⇨ If you want a cartoon figure then go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create or modify one and then go to part 3.
2⇨ If you would rather have a photo then you must 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 put four pictures there by following the instructions. Mark the one you want to use as primary.
3⇨ Now for either a cartoon or a picture 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 picture there to use. Be sure to save the page at the bottom. Shortcut: http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit
NOTE: Sometimes a 360 picture appears immediately and sometimes days. You must be patient.
