I have just set up my account because the trolls had my other one deleted. But when I went to set up my 360 page. It let me do that but on YA it says it cant find my 360 page. Does it take a while for it to recognize it or what?

    Yes, it probably takes some time to recognize for the Y/A system to recognize that you have a 360 space. Just like it will probably take time for the Y/A system to recognize a change or addition of a 360 image as a Y/A picture. Maybe you should try adding a 360 image in a few days (if you do, we should not see your Yahoo! Avatar on Y/A):

    - Make sure that you are going to http://360.yahoo.com and activating that space, and not a Yahoo! Members Profile.

    - Make sure a JPEG formatted photo (with .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe extension) under 5MB is saved to your hard drive.

    - Click your "My Page" link at the top

    - Click "Edit Profile Photos" over the empty picture frame

    - Click "Browse" and upload photo into an empty field. Then click one "use as primary" radio button on the right before saving (if you've uploaded more than one image).

    Then, come back to Yahoo! Answers.

    - Make sure that it is the same Yahoo ID that you used for 360.

    - 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.

    NOTE: 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 (a gray unisex icon) OR an old 360 image. Just go through the above process and let your picture stay that way until the system makes your 360 image appear. If you don't want to wait, then just use a Yahoo! Avatar (http://avatars.yahoo.com ) and forget about using the 360 image.

    Also, some people never see an image show up. If the image that you are trying to use doesn't show up in a few weeks, 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.
