Lost in cyberspace?

Answer 2

The reason you are having so many problems with your 360 account is ..

We are losing our Yahoo 360 accounts very soon according to the Yahoo product blog you can access by going to this link:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360

There are many problems that will not be fixed by Yahoo on the 360, and they are getting worse each passing day.

I urge you to go to the product blog and read the information for the last three postings by yahoo about all of the changes that are coming to us soon.

Many features have not been working for a while. Y!360 is transitioning into a different social networking platform in early 2008. There has not been a more specific date announced on the blog yet, so it could happen any time in the 2nd half of 2008. Yahoo is trying to centralize its profiling services - Y!Mash, Y!360, and the regular Members profile - into one. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. However, they are no longer fixing bugs related to Y!360, so there's no point in trying to contact them about it.

As for your images, they were hosted on Yahoo! Photos, which was closed in September and now they are irretrievable. They left you with their new service Flickr (http://flickr.com ) to use with the photos module on the Top Page/My Page. However, the link between Flickr and 360 hasn't worked for many people for a long time.

So, you have other alternatives in getting images on your 360, but primarily, it would be in the blog area:

You can do it four ways:

1) Above your entry space, click the "Browse" button for the photo upload tool. Search for the image that's saved to your hard drive. It must be a JPEG formatted image (extension ending with .jpg, .jpeg, and .jpe) and under 5 MB in file size.

* The picture will appear above your entry and doing it this way, you can only use one picture.

NOTE: The following methods require that your image is hosted via an online hosting service like Flickr (http://flickr.com ) and Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/ ):

2) Check out the 360 team post on dragging & dropping photos into blogs: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha...

* This method allows many photos to be used in an entry, with your choice in placement. Make sure that you are using an image that's on it's own page (not on a page that is shared with others). So click on the image and get to that image's full detail page (likely the largest view of the picture, not the thumbnail).

3) Copy and paste an absolute URL for the image (which looks http://www.domainname.com/nameoffile.gif or .jpg....something similar to that) into a blog entry.

- Check the box next "View HTML source" box (on the upper right of your entry's space).

- Type in the HTML code:

<img src="URL of image" height="# of pixels" width="# of pixels">

NOTE: With Flickr, just use the block of code above the pic's URL that they tell you to use...wouldn't want to violate their guidelines.

- Uncheck the "View HTML source" box to get back to the regular blog screen.

WARNING: Do not save your entry with out adding some text.

- Click "Save"

* This method allows you to use any formatted image as long as it's hosted on an online server and not only your hard drive. Check each service for their list of accepted file types before choosing one.

4) SLIDESHOWS:

Create slideshows to embed in a blog entry and then choose to highlight the entry to make it appear on the top right side of your blog (if you like). Slideshow services: http://slide.com, http://rockyou.com, http://photobucket.com (although photobucket limits the number of pictures in one slideshow album), http://picasa.google.com :

- Find the embed code for the album that you want to add.

- Click on "My Blog" and create a new entry.

- Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.

- Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.

- Click "Show Options" link at the bottom of the entry and click the highlight option.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.

- Click "Save" button and see if it appears.

Answer 4

I think you just have to wait for an answer. There are million Yahoo users, maybe you're still at the bottom of the list. Just be patient, alright?
