Why can't I change my profile picture on Yahoo Answers?

Possibly a glitch or doing it wrong. Try this, follow closely, it works. First. Your profile must not be hidden, if it is your avatar won't show. Go below click left side to hide or unhide

If you are on wireless you must wait until you are on a computer.Yahoo no longer offers avatars but you can do this:

Choose either a cartoon or a photo avatar

Create a personal avatar below not a moving or large one, right click and save it to you pc then closely follow the upload directions below.

Photo or avatar upload Follow these directions closely.

Go to

http://profile.yahoo.com/ ,

click the default avatar you see now, click change picture in the centre, click the upward arrow on left, "edit my public profile" browse and select the avatar or pic you want from your pc, follow the prompts. Close and reopen your browser or reboot. and your avatar should be showing If your avatar isn't showing try resizing it to make it smaller.

First make sure your Yahoo Profile is not set to private that stops an avatar from showing.

It should say.....Your profile is currently visible.

If it shows as hidden then click to change it.

It's probably because the image size is too big. Reduce the size.
