How do I upload an actual picture?

Question

It's not uploading my 360 one so I just have my avatar.

Answer 1

I have heard that there is currently a problem with new 360 photos. Wait a day or so and see what happens.

Answer 2

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

You're probably doing it correctly if you've done the following:

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.

You can't upload more than 4 profile pictures (this includes an avatar). Make sure that you are following the 360 Personal Photo guidelines here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/gui... .

Then, come back to Yahoo! Answers. 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.

NOTE: 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:
