How can i search user profile in yahoo messenger?

Why won`t my profile show up in a Yahoo messenger members directory search?

• I completed my profile days ago and checked the box so it can be found in a search by other members from the member`s directory and it still won`t show up, why? I know people who can`t upload a picture to their profiles also. Is anybody else having this problem? Everybody seems to get the same cookie cutter answer that gives no solution if you email Yahoo. What`s the deal?

• Answer:

  Try to uncheck the box and recheck it then try to log in a different name then the one you are using and check to see if it is in the directory.. Make sure to uncheck then save and then cmoe back new window and recheck it.. Sometimes yahoo acts odd had same thing occur in trying to show the View my Photos from checking that box and had to do this... Just a suggestion give it a try if not contact Yahoo see what they say or can do...
