Why won't yahoo let me change my picture?

The picture I want follows all the guidelines, it's under 5 MB and it's a PNG file, so why doesn't Yahoo let me change it?

Update:

Actually, the main problem is the file format. It's a PNG file, but for some reason Yahoo just says

"Sorry, we cannot accept this file format.

Please select a JPG, JPEG, or PNG file."

And it IS a PNG file.

    Yeah that's a glitch on this site, Sometimes if you leave it alone it will show up the next day, Mainly because it's a filtering process to make sure it's rated G and not porn. -Ronnie
