I already have a yahoo 360 profile, but I wanna use my picture instead of my avatar, What do I do?

Question

I ALREADY HAVE A 360 PROFILE!! so please just tell me why it isn't working for me all of a sudden...What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

360 has been having issues for quite some time.  If you have your picture in your computer, in its photo album or gallery, then on your 360 main page (that is, the one you edit from while logged in) you should just be able to browse and pick the file that repesents the pic and save it. It will ask if you want that picture to be your main picture on the avatar section of the 360 page.

Answer 2

My answer hasn't changed. If you have a 360 profile, then you don't have to worry about that part of the answer. Go on to double-check that you have done the rest of the steps. We should not see your Yahoo! Avatar on Y/A if you have done this correctly:

Log into your 360 space.

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 of the image that you want to use as your Y/A picture before saving (if you've uploaded more than one image).

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.

- 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 (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. 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. 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.
