How do you change profile pic on yahoo?

[Jake]

When I click on my picture, there is only a pic of a dog, a facebook logo and no picture.

I changed my profile before but now it's different.

Go to your Yahoo profile from either your YA activity pr4ofile or from the drop down Menu under your user name in the upper right.

Hover the cursor over the avatar until on your Yahoo profile until a "Change picture " tab pops up at the bottom. Click the tab. The next pop up should include an Upload arrow icon, Facebook icon and some other icons I didn't pay attention to. You HAVE to have an image file on either SIM card or hard drive in either a.Jpg. or ,png image file format. Yahoo is very sporadic about GIF images. sometimes they upload fine, other times it chokes.

Click the Upload arrow an the directory ofr your device should pop up, Click the Pcitures folder, click on folders you might need to open them, select the image file so the file name appears in the URL address window at the bottom. Click 'Open" to upload the image file.

I've done this myself in twice in the last three days. It works. My device is desktop PC. I make NO guarantees about if it will work on your device. if you are on mobile device, Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the "Desktop" button first.

This may or may not work. There is a glitch with the avatars now , new users can change the avatar no problem but not longer users. When you go to your Yahoo Profile click the No Picture first and then try the Change picture and Upload...
That has worked for some users but not all. Other than that we just have to wait it out. Haven't been able to change mine on the Yahoo profile for 3 weeks now.
You can add to the thread on the board about it.

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.
