How can I change my Yahoo Mail Messenger picture?
On the messenger inside Yahoo Mail, I can't seem to change the picture beside my messages. Now, I'm not referring to Yahoo Messenger because that is a separate program. I'm referring to the messaging program you can use when logged into your mail. Every time I try to search for the answer, I'm referred to Yahoo Messenger, the separate program. Does anyone have any idea how to change the picture?

How to set a personal image for your Yahoo! profile.
Your "profile" image is determined by your Yahoo! Profile settings. This image appears in the upper-left corner of Yahoo! pages, to the left of your name.
To change your profile image:
Go to your profile on Yahoo! Profile.
If you haven't already set up a profile, a welcome screen appears. Select the Next: You Public Profile button. (Otherwise, skip to step 3.)
Hover over the image to the left of your Yahoo! ID, and select Change Picture.
If this option doesn't appear, your profile is private. To change this setting, see the steps at the bottom of this article.
Four options appear for your profile image; select one, and follow the prompts that follow:
Upload image: Select an image that has been saved on your computer. Browse to the image on our computer, select Open, and then select Save.
Facebook: Sets your image to your Facebook profile image. If your Facebook account is not already linked to your Yahoo! account, you need to link them by selecting My Facebook Account is note linked, and entering your Facebook username and password.
Yahoo! Avatar: Sets your image to your Yahoo! Avatar.
No image: Uses the default image, which is a colored box with an exclamation point in it.
Once you have made your selection, the confirmation message Picture Successfully Updated appears. When you return to your account, the new image should display.
Note: If you've set your Yahoo! Profile to be hidden, you will not be able to edit your profile image. In order to change it, first you need to unhide your profile.
To unhide your profile (required to edit your profile picture):
Go to Yahoo! Profile.
Select the gear icon in the upper right corner; this is the Settings menu.
Select Privacy on the right.
In the middle of the Privacy page that appears, click the button to the left of My Profile is currently hidden. When you click it, it should change to My profile is curently visible. You can now follow the steps at the top of hte article to change your profile image.
