How do I change my Y! 360 URL?

Question

I don't want the simple url that includes my email name, nor do I want to have the original long url.

Answer 1

There are only two choices available to you, which you've already stated that you don't want.

Your only remaining option is to change the Yahoo ID that you use with your 360 space and use the simple URL for that ID. You don't have to get an entirely new account, as you can create aliases on your existing account.

There are 3 methods:

- Click on the "Settings" link. Go to "Basic Info" page and go down to the Yahoo Identity Display.

- Click "Create an additional Yahoo! alias" at the bottom at that section. It will take you to your account information.

- Click the "Create A New Profile" button at the top. Go through the process. You can make one profile the default rather than the other if you want. Click the "Finish Editing" button when you are done with any page.

- Log out. Then, log back into 360 using your new profile name and same password.

OR

- Click the "My Account" link at the top of the page next to your "Sign Out" link.

- Sign in and click the "Edit/Create Profiles" link on the right of the page.

- Click the "Create A New Profile" button at the top. Go through the process. You can make one profile the default rather than the other if you want. Click the "Finish Editing" button when you are done with any page.

- Log out. Then, log back into 360 using your new profile name and same password.

OR

- Create ONE extra mail address on your account that has all the mail features of the first one. This is a very convenient option

- See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya...  .

- Log out. Then, log back into 360 using your new profile name and same password.

When you finish the process of creating a new profile alias with any of the above options, go back to the "Settings" page of your 360 space, back to "Basic Info" and choose the profile you just created in the Yahoo! Identity Display section (make sure to select the Yahoo ID, primary alias, profile default & simple URL options). Deselect all the old ID options. Then, click the "Save" button at the bottom.

NOTE: It is not possible to set up an additional Yahoo! Mail account for each Yahoo! profile. You only have the option of the ONE extra e-mail address. So, you can have up to 6 profile names on your account (including the extra address and your original ID).
