I'm just a white box with a red X. What is wrong with my Avatar ?

Question

I'm using my 360 photographic image, and it isn't coming through, I tried a few different ones, but none are coming through. Is it 360 or Q&A that is the problem ?

It's been like this since yesterday, I'm pretty sure it isn't me.

Answer 1

man you asked the wrong guy, I know nothing!,,,,nothing!

Answer 2

No it is not you who are at fault.. it is Yahoo.. most probably the 360 is the problem area because..

Yahoo is in the process of launching a new platform here on this site.

The 360 will no longer be called the 360 after this.. we will have a new blogger and other things which yahoo has not announced yet.. Until that then they have stopped doing maintenance on the 360 and have pulled a lot of the server from it to give it to the new platform,  it is extremely difficult to not give up on this site lately.. they set a date for the change over to take place through a letter to a friend of mine who published it in a blog to us.. but  it has passed us by already.. .

The 360 product blog has a blog posted by Matt Warburton .. the new head of Yahoo.. that explains most of the questions you might have.. here is the link to that blog

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360

I hope they get it together soon!

Answer 5

that happens to mine too, sometimes...can't explain it at all.

Answer 6

No, mine too.   I've been having problems with pics and the 360 for a couple of days.  I had to revert to my cartoon avatar.

I can't even get a pic into that spot she's talking about below.  I tried to change my usual earlier, and now I can't get anything to show.  I heard 360 is going down, so maybe... I wish it were not.

Answer 7

I think the problem is at Y/A.

On different days I notice that sometimes almpst every avatar box comes up with that little red x in it instaed of an avatar or pic.

Answer 8

go to the setting, select to all yahoo applications.

it will appear, but make sure to corp the picture before.

Answer 9

UPDATE: You didn't state all the steps you did nor your history of doing this, so I felt it wouldn't hurt to state part of the process. But again, you'll have to just wait it out. If you browse through the site, you will see that many people are having the same problem.

It may have something to do with the Y!360 transition (which hasn't happened yet); it may not. BUT since such delays have happened repeatedly in the past, I'm inclined to think not.

No, it isn't you, as long as you're using a JPEG image under 5 MB. Have 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 (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.
