When you post on Yahoo! Message Boards Beta (which includes the Yahoo! Avatars board), you can display your avatar next to all your posts. Here's how:

  1. On message board, click "Message Boards Settings" at the top right. If you're not signed into Yahoo!, you'll be prompted to do so.
  2. Click "Avatars & Profiles Settings" on the left.
  3. Select "Display My Avatar."
  4. Select which profiles you want your avatar to appear with when you post messages.
  5. Click "Save."

Now when you post to a beta message board, your avatar's face is displayed above your Yahoo! ID. If you mouse over the face, you can see the whole avatar.
