Why has my avatar gone missing from my messenger window?
Where oh where has my Avatar gone. It shows up on answers, and other yahoo pages. But its gone from my Display images window on messenger. Its been gone for some time now. I have asked and asked for technical help from yahoo messenger. No reply of any kind. I've asked on here, and all I get is smart *** answers, that its showing up on here. Trying to get answers on technical problems from yahoo is like raising frogs in a trout pound. A worthless effort. Much like trying to get answers on here.
I have no reason to pick a best answer, as I've on gotten on reply. It give some information, but nothing that would tell me why the Avatar left my messenger page. But it shows on all the other yahoo pages, like mail and such. If I drop down on the avatar picture, it does not show the customize link, and if you go to create a new avatar, it goes to my profile page, which shows my avatar as it was. But does not show any means of putting it back on the messenger window, or how to make a new one using the 11.5 messenger. I can put my picture back in place of the gray box with a smiley face.
So I guess I am stuck with no real answer, and that the question will auto destruct before I do get any kind of answer. And all the messages I've sent to yahoo messenger help have gone unanswered as well. But then again, I have never been able to get a honest answer from yahoo on any subject, so they act just like Google, MSN and so on. I understand that the services are free, but it seems to

Yahoo messenger was set up to start working right! Then Facebook came and yahoo was working on its Phone pad and phone service, after Facebook started yahoo phone pad only worked for Pc to Pc calls and now that does not even work! All messenger does is Chat and let you know if you have mail! Even the Messenger Help i have recalled was discontinued ! you can load your contacts and chat! Video chat i do not know about ! Avatars yahoo discontinued just this year 2013 and when you loose it its gone and is not going to come back.
