How do I upload a picture instead of using a generic avatar?

Does Anyone Know Why My Avatar Picture Wont Upload?

• *Please, only serious answers..* 10 Points For best answer.. (I'm asking in this section cause Polls always gives you lots of answers..) I just uploaded a personal picture on here and it wont upload, it still remains blank as you can see. I crop the image, and then when I press upload it still wont upload. The image is clean, nothing offensive and it is in jpeg format.. Any Clues? or does it just take a while to upload? It still hasn't uploaded over 30 mins or so.. Thanks In Advance.

  I notice that you have hidden your profile. You can use a cartoon avatar but for a pulse profile picture to appear here it can't be hidden. If you do not want information public then you can hide each element or leave it blank. If you have already created an avatar and it is not appearing be sure to follow step Ⓒ completely. Ⓐ │ If you want a C̲a̲r̲t̲o̲o̲n̲ avatar then create or modify one at Ⓐ │ http://avatars.yahoo.com and then go to Ⓒ. Ⓑ │ If you want a P̲h̲o̲t̲o̲ avatar then upload an image to your Pulse Profile at Ⓑ │ http://pulse.yahoo.com/y . Click on the current photo to get the update options. Ⓑ │ Select the one you want to use and then go to Ⓒ. NOTE: If you hide your profile Ⓑ │ the image will not show up on Yahoo! Answers. Ⓒ │ Now go to the Yahoo Answers profile at http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit . Ⓒ │ Click "update photo or avatar". Be sure to "save" at the bottom of the page. Ⓒ │ This is also where you can change your nickname. ₪ ʎəɿʞɹɐq ₪
