why can't i change my profile picture? - ghaz - 02-19-2014 12:49 PM I want to change my Y! messenger picture and change my avatar but whenever I want to do this my Y!profile appears and I can't access to avatars.yahoo.com somebody tell me how can i appear my avatar? - Riki - 02-19-2014 12:53 PM For messenger. Right click on your avatar in the messenger window, click choose a picture or browse for an avatar you have saved, from an avatar site like those below. http://www.free-avatars.com/ http://freeavatarsonline.com/ http://www.avatarsdb.com/ or a photo from your pc follow the prompts to upload. - echinopsis . - 02-19-2014 12:57 PM Yahoo no longer supports the creation of their cartoon avatars, sorry. You can use a photo avatar or a cartoon avatar from another site, and if you have a Facebook or Twitter account, you can also use those avatars. Go to: http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/ - make sure your profile isn't hidden, because if it is, your avatar won't show. In case you want to use a Facebook or Twitter avatar, you need to link those accounts in the Profile options. http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/linked-accounts/ You have several options in case you want a photo avatar: a) go to your Yahoo! Answers settings at http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity > click edit my preferences near your current pic > click "Update photo or avatar", b) go to your Yahoo! Profile at http://profile.yahoo.com/ , click on the current avatar. Now upload a picture or choose one of the pics you've uploaded previously. Note: if you are on a mobile, you need to switch to desktop mode first in order for this to work. - Jimmy - 02-19-2014 12:58 PM AVATAR At this time you can not make a avatar or upload a picture from a mobile device, perhaps that will change in the future. For now profile changes must be made from a computer. Go here , http://profile.yahoo.com top center put the arrow on your avatar or !, click change picture. From there you can upload a Picture from your computer or import a picture from facebook. When finished click submit on the next page. Sometimes it dose not automatically go back to, http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about and sometimes the image dose not automatically change, click submit at the bottom of the page and it will change. ******** Yahoo Answers did away with their Avatar Maker. If you want a custom avatar go to one of these sites and make a custom avatar, save it to your computer and upload it as a picture. http://www.voki.com/ http://illustmaker.abi-station.com/index_en.shtml http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers… |
