Whenever I post an answer, a "?" appears instead of my name. How can I fix it so that my name appears instead of question mark?

Update:

This appears to be caused by adding multiple Yahoo email accounts using the account manager feature. Once I deleted my secondary account and restarted my PC, I saw my name instead of a question mark. The weird thing is that this was in Fire Fox, but in IE11, I'm still seeing the question mark. I can't edit my name in the preferences, and there's no "nickname" option. But, in Fire Fox there is a nickname option.

    That is a glitch that happens now and then to all of use. Just refresh the page. It may clear up or it may take a while because Yahoo may be working on a profile issue. But sooner or later it will start working.
