How do I go about changing my picture on Yahoo Xtra Answers?

Question

All I have is a silhouette.  How do I go about changing it to a picture?  I can not seem to find anything that addresses this. I would expect to find something in 'My Profile' but it's not there.  Can't find anything in the FAQ either... it must be right under my nose, 'cause I can't see it... or maybe I need to clean my glasses.

It should be the same technique as Yahoo Answers here, in the States/Canada.

While logged in, go here:
http://avatars.yahoo.com/
If you'd like to create a cartoon avatar like I have.  Select your gender, eye and hair colour, skin type, accessories, background, etc. - Make it you!  When done, make sure you hit 'Save'.
Return to Answers, enter your profile, and click on "Edit my Info".  Under Pictures, tick off "Use my Yahoo Avatar".  You should see it right away.. then hit 'Save'.

If it's a picture of yourself or off your hard drive, simply go here and create a Yahoo 360 Page:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/

Follow the Instructions - Upload your picture, and hit 'Save'.
Come back to Yahoo Answers again, where it should be in your profile, only this time tick off the box, "Use my yahoo 360 pic".  Hit Save again.

Don't panic if it doesn't show up Immediately.  They usually do, but sometimes the system can be slow.  Just be patient.  It'll show up.:)

Go to your profile, click "edit my info", set up a 360Â° page, load up a pic (it has to be a .jpg, preferrably 48x48 pixels), mark "set as primary", click "preview" and then "okay"! If you don't know how to resize a pic, don't worry, Yahoo will still show it in an appropiate size.

If you prefer a Yahoo Avatar go to the link below to create one. Next go to your profile, click "edit my info", click "use my Yahoo avatar", click "preview" and then "ok".
