How do I add my profile picture to yahoo answers? I tried everything and it doesn't seem to work.?

You must create your own avatar using software on your computer or download one from one of the many avatar sites on the web. Keep the avatar small. The displayed avatar is 128 x 128 pixels. A very large avatar may become distorted or blurry. I recommend keeping it square and under 100k. Yahoo no longer has a site to create one. It closed on 4/1/13.

Here is a site where you can create an avatar: http://www.doppelme.com/

Here are a couple of sites with ready made avatars: http://www.avatarsdb.com/ and http://freeavatarsonline.com/

In order for your avatar to appear you must make your Yahoo! Profile visible if not already. Go to: http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/ and make sure the profile is not hidden. There is no reason to hide your profile. Nothing appears unless you enter it and turn a switch on.

Either go to your Yahoo! Answers settings at http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about and click on "change photo" or go to your Yahoo! Profile at http://profile.yahoo.com/ and click on the current avatar. Upload one or choose an existing one. I have found that the avatar is changed immediately except for the leaderboard and the top answerers list. That can take up to 24 hours.

Yahoo no longer provides avatars however you can create one from other free sites see the links below.If you are on wireless you must wait until you are on a computer.

Choose either a cartoon or a photo avatar you had saved to your pc.

Create a personal avatar below not a moving or large one, right click and save it to your computer pc.

Check the first one to make a cartoon of your own photo.
