How do I change me Yahoo profile picture?
I just started using this email account again and it still has the old profile picture I've had since three years ago.
Yahoo changed their profile format during the time I've been gone, and no matter how hard I try or how hard I look, the only two options for changing the picture are "no photo" or "connect with Facebook" (I don't have a Facebook account). I've also tried changing it through my Yahoo answers account, but it just redirects me to the same page. Just wondering if anyone has figured it out, or if I'll have to create a whole new account just to get rid of my old profile picture. Ads |

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/edit/about , 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 1: if you are on a mobile, you need to switch to desktop mode first in order for this to work. Note 2: Yahoo no longer supports the creation of their cartoon avatars - it may still work for a few users, but the support was said to stop April 1. And no, this is no joke, the matter was announced quite a while ago... Ads |
