The Yahoo Profile was removed around 1/1/2015. They were supposed to move most of the features to Account Info under the Gear icon. They still have not done it.
You can not update the avatar, the "Yahoo" nickname, your date of birth, and a few other things. You can change the "Yahoo Answers" nickname. Click on your avatar/name in the left column; click on edit preferences; and click on "edit" after the nickname.
A popup will open allowing you to change the name. There is still no update as of 11/19/2015. It is beginning to look like they may never update Account Info.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
