How to change profile picture on yahoo messenger?

• okay , when my mom opened her yahoo email account, she saw that in her top contacts was her daughter (me), but the picture was 5 years old. i have updated my picture on yahoo, so how come the old picture shows when other contacts of mine open their mail. i want to change that picture, coz when i chat, that old picture is seen .

• Answer:

  Open Messenger and click Messenger on the Tool bar>> My Display Image>> Share My Picture, choose the image of your choice by clicking one or the other and you shouldn't have any more problems with your picture disappearing! Obviously if you don't have a picture, you click Select or Customize and follow the prompts from there. Once you get your photo or avatar onto Messenger, you have to restart your computer in order to finalize the changes and the next time you open Messenger, your Display Image will be there for all to see. At a later date, when you're not trying to set your display image up, you can add quite a few different photos of yourself and archive them there to use as you choose. Some people display different images depending on how they're feeling that day, including me. Good luck.
