How do I add my age on Yahoo profile?

• The new profile doesn't allow me to set my age, and when I go to my account info. it just says "Age on file"

• Answer:

  First to clear up the other answers. Whether you access your account information, and therefore your date of birth, through your email or through your main account profile, you will end up in the same place. You are able to change your date of birth on your profile, and therefore the age that will display under your name, unless you opt out, but not able to just change your age. And there is nothing to hold you to putting in your real date of birth. DOB is no longer part of the account security, but that's another issue. Even so, accounts are separated into adult or teen. If you are 13 and your profile says 39, you obviously did not register with your true date of birth. Which means you have an adult profile or possibly a family account. In that case, the lowest you can go is 1992 which would make you 18, more or less depending on your month of birth. So you can follow the procedure to change your age but you would have to change the account in order to have it show you as 13. 1. Click this: http://profiles.yahoo.com/ 2.
