sf4answers uses Gravatars to provide avatars for the site. Gravatars require an email address to be registered with them in order to provide avatars for not only sf4answers, but any site that uses the Gravatar system (it allows you to use one avatar across multiple sites).
Once you have registered your avatar with Gravatar, you will have to provide sf4answers with the email address you registered with Gravatar. In order to do this, you can edit your profile to provide it for us (note, it might be there already if your identity provider (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc, etc) provided it for us (which you have to explicitly allow).
In order to edit your profile, you can click on your name anywhere in the site and it will take you to your profile page. The easiest link is your name in the upper-right hand corner when you are logged in.
Once on the profile page, click on the "Edit Profile" link (highlighted in red here):
Clicking that link will take you to the edit profile page, where you can enter an email address:
After you add your email that you registered previously, click "Save" and sf4answers will show that avatar everywhere applicable on the site.
Note: sf4answers does not use your email for spamming purposes, but to provide avatar details through Gravatar as well as to email notifications when you register for them.
