How to update Yahoo account profile photo: 2015?
For some time now, the Yahoo folk have promised, “Someday my Prince will come…” (Oops, that’s someday you’ll be able to update your account photo from email preferences, because “Profiles” are “going away”.) Promises, schlomises. I surely would like to update an old profile pic. Does anyone, any great guru here, know of a slick way to gitter done? (Yep, FWIW, I went to my Account page and couldn’t edit it there.)

The Yahoo Profile no longer exists. They are supposed to move most of the features to Account Info under the Gear icon. So far changes to the following are not available.
1. Avatar
2. Yahoo nickname
3. Sign in period
4. Date of birth
NOTE: You can change the Yahoo Answers nickname. Click on your avatar/name in the left column; click on edit preferences; and click on "edit" after the nickname.
Clicking "edit photo" in the Yahoo Answers preferences brings you to the new Account Info page where it still can't be changed.
As of 3/5 this is a response from them on Facebook.
We're working on getting these features back, and you will soon be able to update your profile picture, Yahoo nickname, and other account settings previously managed from Yahoo Profile. However, we don't have an ETA at this time.
When I ask on the Facebook customer care page I still get the same response as of 4/3.
Still no update as of 4/20.

You can't. Yahoo has disabled avatars and editing of nicknames for now. They are making changes to profiles.
