I started fooling around with my 360 thing to see what it was, and filled in some of the stuff, since then, the link to my 360 from my Answers profile page no longer goes to that simple page that lets you change your yahoo avatar for a picture from your PC, I have searched through the options in all the new 360 bits, and can only find a link to change my yahoo avatar, but not how to replace it with a picture from my PC, does anyone know if the 360 thing has just been upgraded and altered, and how I would go about doing the above, thank you:)

  1. You need to click edit my info then get 360 account. Then set it up and click on my page and look left to add photos. Then you up load them and save at the bottom. Go back to normal profile fron answers page and click use nick name and and click use 360 avatar and set at the bottom.


  2. There are more steps involved in using a 360 image, so you'll need to double-check that you've done them all. If you do as instructed below, we should not see your Yahoo! Avatar on Y/A, as we do now:

    Make sure a JPEG formatted photo (with .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe extension) under 5MB is saved to your hard drive.

    - Click your "My Page" link at the top of your 360 space

    - Click "Edit Profile Photos" over the empty picture frame

    - Click "Browse" and upload photo into an empty field. Then click one "use as primary" radio button on the right before saving (if you've uploaded more than one image).

    You can't upload more than 4 profile pictures (this includes an avatar). Make sure that you are following the 360 Personal Photo guidelines here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/gui... .

    Then, come back to Yahoo! Answers.

    - Make sure that it is the same Yahoo ID that you used for 360.

    - Click the "My Profile" link to the upper right of this Yahoo! Answers page, then click "Edit My Info" in the top left box on the Answers profile page.

    - Scroll down to the image section and check the option of showing the 360 picture. Click Preview and then the OK button. Then, WAIT.

    NOTE: The image may not show up right away in Y/A, as it sometimes take days (and for some weeks) for the system to catch up. So, in the meantime, you will be without any picture on Y/A (blank, grayed out, messed up...whatever you want to call it). Just go through the above process and let your picture stay that way until the system makes your 360 image appear. If you don't want to wait, then just use a Yahoo! Avatar (http://avatars.yahoo.com ) and forget about using the 360 image.

    Also, some people never see an image show up. You can always post a bug report (or piggyback on other's bug reports) on the issue at the Y/A forum: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answe... . This link between Y/A and Y!360 has been buggy for years.

  3. load ur jpeg picture here: http://upload.360.yahoo.com/edit/photos....

    click the button "set as primary" right side

    click save

    then

    in answer's profile

    click edit my info

    click the button "use my 360 picture"

    click preview & ok

    goodluck ^_^
