Question

As you can tell im probably trying to add a pic of hermione granger, since thats my screename. But when i edit my info, the 360 pic isnt there. grr im so mad. do you know what to do?

Answer 1

First, if you are showing a Yahoo! Avatar on Yahoo! Answers, your 360 image will never show up. So, you'll have to correct that in order to get this to work.

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.

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.

BUT if you don't want to wait, then just use a Yahoo! Avatar (http://avatars.yahoo.com ) and forget about using the 360 image feature.

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.

Answer 2

A lot of users have posted as having the same problem with the 360 avatar. Yahoo have started major updates to all of its servers, the avatar will show eventually some report waiting 2-5 days before the avatar shows. so try to be patient.

Answer 3

Right, i had this problem at first!! It didnt work straight away. It took about a day to upload so just leave it as your yahoo 360 avatar and check it out again tomorrow!!

EDIT:Umm....why call someone a harry potter freak?? Its amazing.

By the way hermione, have u kept ur avatar set as the actualy pic of hermione??

Answer 4

harry potter freak.

Answer 5

The best thing I can suggest you is wait patiently...A lot of users have posted their pictures and it takes awhile to upload the page..

I also felt the same way as I did when I did'nt get my picture a few days back...It made me so mad...But after some time I got it...I think its a que system and you have to wait until your turn comes..

It might also be due to some network disturbancy that you are facing this problem..Not to worry and cheer up..

Hoping you get the picture soon!

All the Best!
