How do I earn points on this avatar thing?

I don't think there is a competition for who has the best looking avatar.  You earn points on Yahoo Answers by answering questions, rating answers, and voting for the best answer.

You go to yahoo answers and click on your name on the top middle of your page where it says Hello (your name), points & level. (like before when you started)\n\nClick on the blue letters that say, edit my info.\n\nStroll down to where it says picture & go to the right & click on the little white circle next to Use my Yahoo! Avatar.\n\nThen go down to the bottom where the little blue box that says preview and click it.\n\nThen go down to the bottom where the little blue box that says ok and click it.\n\nThen it will show you a little pic of your avatar where you were to begin with. Now you're done! Good luck!

Points and Levels\nTo encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.) \nPoints Table Action Points \nBegin participating on Yahoo! Answers One time: 100 \nChoose a best answer for your question 2 \nPut the answers to your question to a vote 2 \nAnswer a question 2 \nVote for a best answer 1 \nRate a best answer 1 \nHave your answer selected as the best answer 10 \nReceive a "thumbs-up" rating on a best answer that you wrote (up to 50 thumbs-up are counted) 1 per "thumbs-up" \n\n  \nLevels are another way to keep track of how active you (and others) have been. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's! \nThere's also a color associated with the levels. These colors will have more meaning as Yahoo! Answers rolls out new features in the coming weeks, and you'll see how "sharing what you know" and "discovering something new" can be fun and rewarding.

I believe you need to have a 360! page, you can then use a picture from there instead of an avatar.

How to get an Avatar?\n\nThe pictures next to one's name are called Avatars. Took me a while to figure out how to get one. \n\nI clicked "My Q&A," then "Edit my Info." A page appears which lets you click a circle under the "Avatar to be" box and/or click "Edit my Yahoo! avatar." From there, I think, you should be guided to create one: \n\nChoose face (zooming in), chose hair style, eyes etc. Your Avatar will appear in the trial box. I think you have to save what you like and you can still add items from other items pages. If you are content with it, click "save" under the trial box, and your Avatar should appear with your questions and answers.\n\nSome have suggested to click http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit... \n\nIt's fun.\nCordially, India.Magica

If you want to use one of the cartoon 'avatars' then It's a two step process\n\n1) Create your avatar at http://avatars.yahoo.com/\n.. sounds like you've done this one.\n\n2) Display your avatar on Answers\n-on the Yahoo!Answers page, \nselect "My Q&A"\nselect "Edit My Info"\nin the Picture section, select "Use My Yahoo Avatar"\n\nThis link will get you there, http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit

you click on your name at the top of the screen where your points and level is shown. Then you click edit information and in the beginning you must have clicked the smiley face. So, instead choose the avatar one and it will allow you to make a face. And if you want an actual picture you need to make a yahoo!360 page, but you must be 18 to make one, and i'm not 18 so i'm not 100% sure how to do it.\n\n~hope that helps!\n(if it doesn't e-mail me and i'll help you more)

If you want a cool Avatar, go to Yahoo! Avatars to create one.  That will show up in that little box.

Whoa.  Did your computer glitch or was it a Yahoo thing?  I sure hope the duplicate didn't cost you an extra five points.  I'll do it for both questions though in any case.\n\nEDIT:  For Joey.  Just click on someone elses avatar & go to their best answers.  Pull them up & click on the thumb's up.  It's easy & it grants a point to the answerer for every one you click.
