Question

when friends try to add to my 360 they get a message that its blocked how do i fix the problem

Answer 1

If by add, you mean "add a comment", then your friends first must have a Yahoo ID. Then, they must activate their 360 space for that Yahoo ID. Then, they have to be logged into a Yahoo web-page service in order to comment on your 360.

If all the above has been established, then you will have to adjust your permissions to allow them to comment.

If you are talking about your Top Page comments:

- In your "My Page," click on the "Settings" link for the comment module (in lower left corner of the module). The comments module is the lowest box on the left side of your "My Page."

- Click the "Allow comments by" dropdown and change the permission from "Just Me (Private)" to something else if you want others to actually type in a textual comment as well.

- Check the "enable quick comments box"

- Click the "Save" button.

See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha... for a visual on this.

If you are talking about your Blog comments:

- Click "My Blog"

- Click "Edit Blog Settings"

- Change the permission from "Just Me (Private)" for the "Who can view" and "Who can comment on my blog" settings

- Make sure the "mature content" box is unchecked (unless you actually have adult content in your blog).

- Click the save button

See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/per... for more about permissions.

Otherwise, it may be a glitch. NOTE: The Y!360 team is no longer addressing bug reports, as it prepares to launch a new social-networking system. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space.

If you are talking about connecting 360 spaces together, you have to allow them to send invitations. Again, this involves your permissions.  Click your "Edit Contact Settings" link under your personal profile picture on the "My Page." Make sure they are set to "Everyone in 360" for now. If you are under age 18, that would be "Friends of Friends" instead. You can always change it whenever you want. You may need to send the invite, instead of them sending you one.

- Either use the "Invite" page and follow the instructions here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/fri... . This feature is MAINLY for inviting people who are already in your Yahoo! Mail address book OR your Yahoo! Messenger buddy list.

- Or go to a friend's page and click the "Add" link under their personal profile picture and make sure to check the "Invite As a Friend" box before sending the invitation.

In all cases, the person needs to go to their 360 mailbox and ACCEPT the invitation so that they show up in your contact list, friends list, and friends module.
