So this is probably really stupid, but how do I get a cartoon face pic instead of this little gray thing?

Here's how ya' do it!\n\nGo to "My Q&A"\nOnce the new page comes up, click on "Edit my profiles details" (or something like that"\nOn the new page, there will be the little gray face, your avatar, or you can download a picture from your computer. It's pretty self-explainatory from there!\n\n\nHope that helps!

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.

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 are looking for photo editing software, try PhotoPlus. It is free and has options to make pictures look like cartoons as you said.

If you want your own picture (not an Avatar) you must have a 360 on the same account you use for answers with a picture uploaded to that\nthen go to your answers profile and choose your 360 picture\n\nAvatars are easier specially if you dont have a 360

Sorry, but there's no way to up load your own random picture to use. You must choose either a) your yahoo 360 account picture or b) your yahoo avatar.\n\nI don't know anything about 360 accounts, but if you go to yahoo.com and follow the link there, I'm sure it's not too hard to set up.\n\nAs for avatars, go to this page: http://avatars.yahoo.com/ to set one up. they're actually kinda cool.\n\nTo switch between no picture, 360 picture, and avatar, go to the "my q&a" in the green bar near the top of the page. Once there, click the "Edit my info" link. You can switch in this menu - don't forget to click preview and then ok in order to save the changes. =)

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.

In order to get an avatar you just click on the little gray box and it will show you how.\nNow in order to get a real photo there not an avatar you have to create a yahoo 360 account and upload your photo into that and then you can use that
