How To Change My Profile Picture?
Okay, so I made this really cool looking avatar that looks as close to what I look like in real life as I can with it's limited options and stuff. And I put the picture on my account photo by going to my profile, clicking on the current picture i had, then the avatar picture and the picture on my profile changed. but when i went on the yahoo answers it was still that same "!" and i thought maybe it's terrible at loading on yahoo answers and i went back to my profile and it had the same green background and "!" for the picture and i'm just sitting here with a dumb look on my face thinking why isn't it changing. So I need help on how to change it. Please Help ME!

Your avatar can be a cartoon or a photo. You can also use your Facebook or Twitter avatar. For an animated gif you should make it your Twitter avatar first.

STEP 1.
In order for your avatar to appear you must make your Yahoo Profile visible. That is done here:
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/privacy/
There is no reason to hide your profile. Nothing appears unless you enter it and turn a switch on. The name can be anything you want.

STEP 2.
If you want to use your Facebook or Twitter avatar be sure to link the sites in the Profile options.
http://profile.yahoo.com/y/settings/linked-accounts/

STEP 3.
To create a cartoon avatar first go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create one.

STEP 4.
Click on the default avatar in Y!A and select "edit my preferences".
[shortcut: http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/about ]
Click on "update photo or avatar" and a small window will open.
You can select the cartoon, Facebook, or Twitter avatar or upload your own photo.
After clicking "use selected photo" be sure to click "submit".
The same photo will appear in the Yahoo Profile.
