   Since Yahoo is removing the photo avatars from the 360° pages, this is the new procedure for uploading a picture avatar:

   http://profiles.yahoo.com/ – go here to create a profile -> click "change photo" -> click "add photo" -> select the picture you want from your harddrive -> click "save". Now click "use selected photo", done.

   Note: the pic has to be a .jpg or .png file, it must be smaller than 5 MB, and it also has to be square.
