Yahoo Avatars

[SRUAlmn]

Anyone know if there is a way to save my avatar from Yahoo and use it in my signature on here? I really like how Yahoo lets you pick hair and clothes and everything, but I can't figure out how to get it on here now. If I right click it just says something about flashplayer because it's an animated one. If I can't, is there anyone who could suggest another site that has a similar method of creating them which I could use on here?

Thanks

I agree with asking Dan this question. You may want to PM him with this question - he's helped me so much with my tech questions.

Not a user of yahoo. but try this. Highlight the pic. right click. select copy. paste into photoshop or something like that. Upload to a place like photobucket, and then put the code into your signature.

It won't let me highlight, and when I right click it only gives me one option 'about macromedia flashplayer.' That's ok, no biggie. Thanks anyway

I figured it out! If anyone else ever finds this and wants to know, this is what you need to do:

1. Go to your yahoo avatar main page
2. On the right of the screen, click on 'export'
3. On the right of the screen click on 'download' under the 'Did You Know?' section
4. Download whichever version you want, and make sure you don't just open the file, but SAVE it to your computer.
5. Upload the file into a hosting site such as image station
6. Once the file is uploaded in the hosting site, open it and right click on it
7. Click on properties, and highlight the URL and copy it
8. Go to your Signature section on the DIS and click on the 'insert image' box and paste the URL of your pic into it.
9. TADA

Cute avatar . I have my VMK person below and a real life pic of me as a kid as my avatar. Maybe I need to put my Yahoo avatar in my signature, too. . . .

AW! I love your golden mickey ears on your VMK one!!!

I really like the yahoo ones because you can pick from so many different facial aspects, hair, clothes, backgrounds, etc... I'm in a fantasy football league on yahoo, and this is my avatar for that.
