Question

I've been waiting over 3 months, how long before I can edit my profile picture?

Answer 1

You can right now. Go to your profile, click edit profile next to your name and such, and for picture put "use my yahoo/yahoo 360 ID" and then click under that the "change my yahoo ID" link.

Answer 2

Uh sorry but you can edit it any time you want lol!

Answer 3

you should be able to do it now. I've only been on here for a week

Answer 4

The avatar is the representation of you on Yahoo! Answers. It can be a cartoon figure or a photo.

◘ If you want a cartoon figure then go to http://avatars.yahoo.com and create or modify one and then follow the instructions below.

◘ If you would rather have a photo then first pick one on your computer. If it is on the web then download it. Create a Yahoo 360 account if you don't have one. You can get one at http://360.yahoo.com . Click on the "My Page" tab and then "Edit Personal Photos". You are allowed to put four pictures there by following the instructions. Mark the one you want to use as primary.

◘ Now for either a cartoon or a picture save everything and go back to Yahoo Answers. Click on your old avatar in Yahoo Answers which brings you to your profile. Now go to "Edit My Info". You can pick the cartoon or picture there to use.

Answer 5

It's confusing, but there is a main Yahoo profile and then there is your 360° profile. Judging by the category and how you phrased your question, you might be talking about the main profile, right? If so: until last year pictures in your main Yahoo profile were stored in Yahoo photos. Since this service was discontinued you have to create an account with Flickr first, then upload your pic to Flickr- make sure it's a jpg, click on "your photos", scroll down to the bottom, click "+MY Y!" at bottom right. This should add your pic to YA, but currently YA/Flickr is still having problems with the procedure, so it may take a while until your pic appears.

Note: Yahoo plans on merging the services of "Yahoo profile", "Yahoo 360°" and "Yahoo Mash" early in 2008. It is not known exactly how this new service will look like, but it is to be expected that until then we will not be able to use some features of the 3 services listed above periodically.
