Does anyone know why my avatar is just an "X" instead of my 360 pic that I have it set for?

Question

Does anyone know why my avatar is just an "X" instead of my 360 pic that I have it set for?

Answer 1

This is not a good time to try adding a 360 pic to Y/A, as there have been glitches these past few days.

The image may not show up right away in Y/A, as it sometimes take days for the system to catch up. Also, there is a history of glitches with the feature. So, patience is necessary. You'll need to go through the process and have a blank image for a while until the system processes the change. OR you can use a Yahoo! Avatar instead (http://avatars.yahoo.com ) and just wait to see when everyone stops having the same issue, then try to use the 360 image again. It's up to you.

Lastly, it's not always an issue with 360. Yahoo!Answers has glitches of its own sometimes. It may have to do with the Y!360 transition/closing (which hasn't happened yet); it may not. Since this delay has happened many times before, I think not. Click on the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 to find out more about the Y!360 transition, but it's uncertain whether the Y!360 team no longer fixing Y!360 bugs is the issue here or not. I doubt it.

UPDATE: You can add your voice to the complaining chorus on this issue in these bug posts via the Y/A forum:
