Why is my picture avatar not working?

I have cleared the cache of my browser... I have tried viewing the page from chrome and explorer. My Yahoo Profile has always been public, I linked my Facebook to Yahoo last night, and when I try to use a picture from Facebook that will not work either. I can't go back to my avatar, I'm assuming because they are being taken away on April 1st. The only place my picture is not showing is next to my answers, it shows in my Yahoo profile, and it shows on my Y!A profile.

Update:

Still not working... day three. I'll try re-sizing the gif. and see if that helps. I have noticed other people with "broken" pictures. By the time this starts working, gay marriage will be legal and it won't matter. lol

Update 2:

Day 4 and still broken... "re-sizing" served no purpose. The picture shows in my activity page, (which it was from the beginning) but still does not show on the pages where you answer questions. I've tried other pictures, and they do not work either. It's getting a little annoying to have a broken avatar. Hopefully when I come back after the weekend, it'll be working.

    If its the red logo it has appeared on your profile page. Sometimes it takes a few days to update to this page.

    Relax. Sometimes it takes a few days for the avatars to be viewed all across your Yahoo network. i can see your avatar in your Y!A profile page so it will probably be showing up here by tomorrow.

    Yahoo sent a notice a few days back that they were going to discontinue the avatars, but you can use your own picture.

    I don't know but I wish that Yahoo would keep the avatars.
