Question

but it wont so my pic for my avatar what gives?

Answer 1

I think you should try to set up a simple URL and see if that helps the Y/A 360 link to work.

1) Go to Yahoo! Identity Display under your "Settings" link and select the first circle OR select the 2nd or 3rd circle, if you want your profile page to look like your 360 page. Then before moving on to other sections change your permissions to "Public" by clicking on the dropdown list to the right.

Then, select "Activate my Simple URL" under the Simple URL section below, if you want a simple URL for your 360 page. Change any other settings and permissions (make sure to check that you want to be in the 360 directory) and click the "Save" button at the bottom.

2) Do the same permission setting for your "Blog Settings" (also on the upper left of "Settings" page). Make sure you put a title, then scroll down and activate your simple URL. Make sure to click "Save" at the bottom.

Then, clear your browser's cookies and cache. Logout then come back on to see if the link functions properly.

Answer 2

Make sure you have done the following:

There should be a JPEG formatted photo (with .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe extension) under 5MB 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 the "use as primary" radio button to the right of that image 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. Make sure you are using the same Yahoo ID in Y/A as in Y!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 give up on using the image feature for that Yahoo account.

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.
