How can I change my avatar on YA? I've tried everything.? - Jay - 05-24-2014 08:53 PM Most of the similar questions to this are 5 years old. Maybe I'm a bit thick, but can someone please help?? I have an iPad. I just want to choose an avatar from the net, not a photo - Aline - 05-24-2014 09:01 PM This question is asked all the time, so you're not alone. First, you must be on a computer; this cannot be done on a mobile device. If you’re on a mobile device, you can link your Yahoo Account to your Facebook (assuming you have one) and then your profile pictures can carry over. Otherwise, you will have to wait until you’re on a computer. Find a picture that you would like to be your profile picture, and make sure it is saved to your computer. Then, go to http://profile.yahoo.com. (your Yahoo! Profile) 1.Click on your current avatar in the middle of the screen (Change Picture will appear) 2.Choose the Upload option 3.Find the picture you want on your computer 4.When it is uploaded, click Save. Adding or personalizing your profile image - http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD&page=content&id=SLN3609 If you aren't getting an Upload option, it's a glitch. Try clearing your cookies, cache, and history, restart your computer, and try again, or on a different browser. Also, if your profile is hidden, your profile picture won't show. You can unhide it as explained in the Help page above. EDIT: a photo is choosing an avatar from the Internet. Hopefully we are on the same page here, but it looks like you have a picture now, so I'm glad the problem is resolved. - Riki - 05-24-2014 09:05 PM You must wait until you are on a computer. Yahoo no longer provides avatars however you can create one from other free sites see the links below. 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. http://kusocartoon.com/photo-to-cartoon.… http://laughingsquid.com/faceyourmanga-c… http://www.free-avatars.com/ http://freeavatarsonline.com/ Now, closely follow these directions from Yahoo . http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=cont… 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.
