Why Can't I Change My Avatar?

[Lucas]

I know how to change the picture under My Profile, yet every time I try to change it for the past two weeks it says that Yahoo is under maintenance. It then states, "try again later". I've even tried to not go with an avatar, but it says the same thing.

Is Yahoo still under maintenance? Do other people have the same issue or is it just my account?


Thank you.
This is the exact message it gives me: "This action could not be completed because we are currently under maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please try again later."
@Jimmy. I'm not talking about on my mobile. I'm using a computer. Also, thanks for not reading what I just wrote. You repeated what I said.

AVATAR or Profile Picture
At this time you can not 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.
