Ya know, I think people's avatar does affect some people's answers.  It's natural to go by looks and answer accordingly. The other day someone asked a "black person" question and he had a black avatar and I thought, how different would these answers be if the avatar was white?  People just assume that what they see is a replica of what they are answering.   ? Is that what you meant?  That was a very good statement/question. It gives people something to think about, before their little fingers hit the keyboard.

The persons before have a point especially the first one.\nIt could have been a bug messing around in Yahoo! supercomputer.\nOnce I experienced a similar problem, the "Answer This Question" tab was there but when I clicked on it, Yahoo! said "Oops! You may not take the action."\n\nWait for it to restore.\nIt could take weeks.

You don't have to have an avatar that looks just like all the ones that are available for free.  Make you're own.  You can either use a picture of yourself or something you like.  Or you can edit in your photo program and make some fun things.  I took a real picture of myself and played around with it.  Now I have an art deco looking avatar that is from my real picuture.  :)

I think it's cool, but I doesn't really capture who we really are.  This avatar I have is the closest I was able to get.  And yet, I don't look like it at all.  \n\nBut it's fun to play arond with, at the least.

I hope you mean the avatars.. the cartoony looking people? If you click on your own name (up above where it says how many points you have etc...) you can click on "EDIT" where all of your information is and then select what you wish to show.\nHope this helps, if not, add on to your question because I'm not certain what you mean =)

i've always wondered this and they usually go along with great with the sarcastic answers.\ni often wonder if they change the facial expressions to match the answers they provide.\nsome peoples avatars look just plain crazy and creepy

I had no idea that there was some sort of avatar competition...\nBut, nevertheless, those people are just unoriginal and obviously think your avatars are better than theirs.\nAnd it is very unfortunate that they win the competition.

Once you click on My Q&A, you can click on Edit My Info.  That's where you can check out your avatar (if it's made already, if not, you'll have to make one!)... which is those faces everyone has next to their Q/A profile.  Or, if you have a 360 account, you can upload a cool pic of your own and have it here as well!  (Like mine!)

You don't sound racist or offensive. How many people would worry about upsetting people so much, that they would change an avatar name & a question. Don't worry

Avatars are used in forums or sites like this just to have a small illustration to go next to the person's name. That way the responses seem more familiar.
