How do i upload a picture for my profile picture?

[Caution]

Please help me O_O

Here's what I do (**you don't have to read this**) - I go to my profile, click on "Edit my preferences" then go to "update photo" then click "Add photo". After that they take me to this wierd place....I think it's the settings of my profile or something....It shows 4 boxes - Account privacy, profile privacy, content preferences, and connected accounts........

Thanks folks!

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 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, sorry.
