Cannot Create a Yahoo Profile?

Okay, so I'm trying to create a yahoo profile, however I have run into some difficulties.

On the Yahoo Answers page(s) in the upper right corner, above the Y! search bar, there is a button that says "Hi, Matt" with a drop down arrow. I clicked the drop down arrow and clicked "profile" but the page that then appears says "Sorry, you do not have access to this." I have repeatedly refreshed and clicked other buttons on that page, but nothing seems to work; the same message pops up every time.

How can I fix this and is there another way to create a Yahoo profile?

    It is possible that you have a bad cache file. Clear your history, temporary files (be patient) & cookies, then restart the computer and retry. This HELP link has instructions: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/se... .

    Also, there is information about this exact error message at the HELP section for the PROFILES. Use this link to see what they say about it, and use the link on that page to let them know about your problem:

    Go back to where you were originally. Were you in a chat room or something? Retrace your steps. Or you can just start over. Sometimes it's easier.
