First of all, I already know that to switch from my Yahoo avatar to my 360 avatar, I just go to edit my profile and then choose My 360 avatar or whatever. What I need to know how to get a pic of myself on my Yahoo 360 avatar. I already have a few pics...

There is no where to find out how to replace an avatar with just a normal pic. Even when I delete the avatar, it displays a grayed out boy/girl avatar. I don't want that to be displayed, instead I want my Profile Picture to replace the black/white avatar...

Im sorry, I have seen a number of moms use their avatar pic as their children or even their very young babies. Do you think this is ethical? Is this safe to do? Why or why not? I have thought about doing this, but I need some feedback on this topic first...
