How come I can't see my Avatar on Yahoo Messenger, and can't use the emoticons or audibles either? What's up?

They all worked before...and now when I sign onto messenger, the avatar is blank, and the emoticons and audibles are blank too. I have tried everything to get them back. What can I do?|||You should click on where your audible would be and make sure Share My Avatar is checked. The person you are IM'ing may not be using the same type of Yahoo IM you are. Theirs might be updated. That maybe why you cannot use the audibles. Its happened to me, too.
