How to change yahoo profile image?

I know a LOT of people have asked this question, but the answer are rather wrong, not what I am looking or outdated. I looked up how to do it on google and youtube, but the same thing happened.

I can go to my profile and click on the profile image I have and it only gives me two options, A facebook picture or a option to remove my non existant profile image. Nowhere on my page does it give me the option to directly change my profile picture.

Can someone give me instructions on ho to change my profile image.

    Is your profile hidden? If it is that may be the reason.

    On your profile page in the upper right corner click on the spanner.

    Select Profile Privacy & make sure the slide is on the right side so "Your profile is currently visible" displays.

    Try seeing if the Upload option is now there.

    If you can also try clearing cookies & cache (always the standard fixit from Yahoo) or using a different browser or device.

    I do know there is another user who is having a similar problem. I still think it may be a glitch on Yahoo's end.

    There has been a glitch but try this. Yahoo no longer provides avatars however you can create one from other free sites see the links below.If you are on wireless you must wait until you are on a computer.

    Choose either a cartoon or a photo avatar you had saved to your pc.

    Create a personal avatar below not a moving or large one, right click and save it to your computer pc.

    Check the first one to make a cartoon of your own photo.
