Click "My Q&A", then "Edit my info". Choose the picture type you want. If you want a photograph, you'll need to set up a Yahoo 360° account. Or if you want a cartoon, configure your own Avatar. Links to do both are there.

I just worked it out for myself.\n\n1) click on your user-id for yahoo questions.\n2) go to 'edit my info'\n3) in the photo section there is a link which says 'avatar' click on the link\n4) you will be directed to a new 'avatar' page, so just set one up and save it.\n5) next time you log into Yahoo answers, reset your profile so your new avitar is used as your photo.\n6) next time you log in it should be there.\n\ngood luck :)

avitar doesnt mean squat.... main reason i dont have one is so im not putting up a front like a lot of people who have low self esteem do... a picture is not a window into your personality so id have to say "no" but if we spoke and i found you to be an interesting person i would continuing to speak with you as a friend but couldnt on a cartoon picture

Edit your avatar at: http://avatars.yahoo.com/\n\nScroll down the sidebar to where it says "what I'm wearing" followed by a bunch of items with checked boxes next to them.  Uncheck the box next to a description that contains the word hat and save your changes.  If your hat comes with a hairstyle you may have to go into that section and make some changes unless you like the default hairstyle.

If you have installed the Yahoo bar, you should see a yellow smiley face.  Another way to bring up messenger is to click start, find messenger and double click, or single click, however you computer is configured.  Hope this helps :)\nSincerely,\nNanette

a way I know COULD work is that you make a selection and only select what you want to keep colored... that's kinda very pointy work though, then you do "Invert Selection"  (Ctrl-I) and then set the saturatipon as low as posible to make what is selected (now everything exept what you want to keep colored) grey...

I don't think you could but you could make it look like one by going to "http://www.osx.portraitofakite.com" and download flyakite  v.3.5\n\nthere are things that you hve to change on your own. \n\nthere is no going back for certain things even if you use system restore!\n\nthere are things that are not quite right.\n\nyou can download certain things that are closer at engaget.com

Nope! I noticed it too. When I saw da first changed box, I thought it was somebody's avatar. But then when I scrolled down, I found more of the same "changed head in the grey box" and found dat the old smiling grey box face was gone!! ; (
