A third option, login into the \nprofiles/yahoo.com/[your_yahoo_id] page, and click on Edit Picture. Upload your pic and use it on your Yahoo ids, wherever it gives you the option. Like, in the profile page on Answers.

First, create a Yahoo! Avatar at avatars.yahoo.com.  Then edit your profile (you'll find an edit my profile link if you click on your nickname on any Answers page).  On the edit profile page, one of the choices you'll have for "Picture" is your avatar.\n\nAvatars are also used in a number of other Yahoo! sites, including Yahoo! Messenger and 360.

The best way is to simply to to avatars.yahoo.com. You can sign in using the same ID that you use for Yahoo Answers. When you avatar is created you need to go to your settings and set your picture as your avatar. \n\navatars.yahoo.com\n\nAlso, you can put a pic of yours here by using 360.yahoo.com!

Or u bring the icon of avatar on ur yahoo toolbar. To do so cilck the pencil, select personal options, select add edit button and check the box of avatar and then click finished. It will bring the icon of avatar on ur yahoo toolbar which can be used by u anytime as per ur convenience. Secondly, to use a pic, u need to hv 360 page.

Here u click edit info and then click either the circle of using ur pic or the circle of using ur avatar. Now click the preview and save. It will solve ur problem.
