I think they may have left avatars the way they are because of simple cost analysis of changing it versus the demand. There may also be a contractual binding to the present avatar system. Although you may spend your time and creativity making your yahoo avatar unfortunately you do not own it.\n\nI agree that the present avatars are limited and full figured avatars would be fun. It would be simple enough to ad larger formatted clothing or even fleshy accessories to the existing system for extra curves. I just now thought it up, :)\n\nThe true meaning of avatar isn't dependant on shape but rather on style. If you feel that a plus sized avatar is needed you might want to add it as a suggestion for yahoo. http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/avatar/cgi_feedback on the #4 selection click on (suggestion / feedback -avatars)

Did you save it correctly? That could be the problem if your not saving your avatar correctly.

The avatar(s) are really cool, it's a person you can create in yourself image or just what you want them to be, you can dress them, name them, you decide how they look, what they wear, and where they are, if you Instance message you can put the avatar on your screen, so whoever you're IM that's who they will see. I am new on the computer and I love my avatar.

I don't think it looks ugly, I like it.  However I am curious about how you get an avatar.

yep! thanks for the wake up call. i was procrastinating choosing an avatar.  i thought it (grey creepy) was just generic, but it's downright scary.  even this :) is better than that.  i will choose another picture immediately if not sooner.

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.

Some of your pictures on your computer can be fuzzy because your graphics card is bad old or small,  it also can be because your screen is bad.

I don't, not enough options seems a lot of avatars look too similar. The one I made for myself I could not get it to remotely resemble me. I will stick to my cat pics.

Can you open these pictures with Irfanview (google for this free utility) ?\n\nWhere have the images come from ? Maybe they got broken during transfer or transmission.\n\nIt does not follow that everything is fine just because anti-virus can't find anything wrong.

That's a good question.  For the same reason they can replace the smiley face default avatar with the profile of a man. I'm wondering why they have allowed several racist posts to be posted this evening when they clearly violate the community guidelines? I think you should be able to answer/ask as many questions as you want to.

cool, you look very pretty then, avatars are supposed to be physical features of who you are, especially facial features and hair wise

hahaha i've wondered that myself.... I think most of them are just pictures they found....since some people feel more liberated online then they do in the real world... the ones that yahoo lets you create are more closest to what we look like...you know... my avatar is close to me...except I'm not constantly smiling...
