Edit Profile Pictures

Editing Profiles

To find out how to edit other profile entries, or how to get to the picture area, see our editing profiles page.

Choose a Yahoo! Picture

You can use one of Yahoo's cartoon type pictures.  Once you have clicked "Edit Picture", you are presented with a gallery of them.  Select the picture you like, by placing a check in the circle and then selecting "Change Picture" to save changes.

Upload From Your Computer

This lets you take a picture from your computer you have saved earlier, and put it onto your profile. For Animated GIFs, see below!!!

    File Types: Only .jpg is accepted for upload
   File Sizes: Don't make your images too large, large images take too long to download.  Save your image at 72dpi.

Once you have selected "Upload From Your Computer" you are presented with the box to enter the file name, such as c:\myimage.jpg .  If you don't know the exact location, select "Browse" and find the image, and select open.
Enter the confirmation code into the box, and click "Upload" this may take some time.

Link to an image on the web

Yahoo! removed this feature in June/July 2003 for security reasons. If you have a profile that currently uses an image on the web, it will still work though!

Animated Gifs

If you upload an animated GIF to your profile, it will not animate. Yahoo! stopped this.

Yahoo! photo Albums

Select "Yahoo! Photos" to use an image in your Yahoo! Photo Album.  You will be taken to your album, find the picture you wish to use, and select "Use Photo".  This will set your profile picture to that photo.
