%26gt;click on 'Edit My Info' (it's in blue letters under your image)

It should be easy to create your avatar, everything is intuitive. Just be sure to brush your hair before you save your work and exit. You can change your gender there, if needed, by clicking on 'Preferences' in the upper right, in blue letters.

%26gt;check the '[O]Use my Yahoo! avatar' (below your new avatar)

I don't know about adding it from a file on your computer. Your yahoo answer picture should be the same as your avatar on your yahoo mail page. That's weird that it didn't work.
Go to your Q%26amp;A page, hit EDIT MY INFO and it will take you to where you can create and post your avatar
