I need help in 360?

Question

Before Flickr I used to have my pictures in an album in my page (360) on top right part of the computer. I really don't care about saving them or not, because I already have them in a Cd. I just want to know how to delete that album to create a new one with new pictures. Could you guide me step by step.? Thanks. God bless you.

Answer 1

Yahoo shut down the photo albums part of the site way back in September and the fact that you still have photos in a Yahoo album is simply strange!

All I can give you as an option here is to go to your MY PAGE and where the photo album is located should be the option EDIT MY PHOTOS over the albums.. click it and see what happens..

Wow.. never heard this one before!

Answer 2

Once you add albums or photostream to your 360 space, total deletion really isn't possible as far as I know. However, you can hide the album from others (by selecting "Just Me (Private)" as the permission for each album). Then, start using the Flickr photostream or preferably, another method of displaying images in your 360 space.

Those photos albums were from the Yahoo! Photos service that has now closed. It's a good thing that you have the images on CD because they are irretrievable now through that service. Your only option for using THAT module to display pictures is through Flickr photostream. WARNING: The Flickr photostream is unreliable and has not worked for many eons for many people.

Once you set up a free account on Flickr (http:// www.flickr.com/ ), then you can TRY adding the stream to your 360 photo module:

- Click on your 360 "My Page" link at the top

- Click on the "Share Photos" link in your Photos module on the right side

- Scroll down to the Flickr section and follow the instructions there. If you need to click "Change User" to update the stream with a different Flickr ID.

- Make sure that you select Public in the "Can be seen by:" dropdown before saving.

NOTE: The photos may not show up immediately (it can take 3 days in some cases or as mentioned above - NEVER). The photos must also be PUBLIC in Flickr FIRST.

YET my recommendation is that you skip all the likely hassle and set up photo slideshows or post multiple pictures in your blog. There are 3 ways to get multiple images in that area:

NOTE: The following methods require that your image is hosted via an online hosting service like Flickr (http://flickr.com ) or Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/ ):

1) Check out the 360 team post on dragging & dropping photos into blogs: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha...

* This method allows many photos to be used in an entry, with your choice in placement. Make sure that you are using an image that's on it's own page (not on a page that is shared with others). So click on the image and get to that image's full detail page (likely the largest view of the picture, not the thumbnail).

2) Copy and paste an absolute URL for the image (which looks http://www.domainname.com/nameoffile.gif or .jpg....something similar to that) into a blog entry:

- Check the box next "View HTML source" box (on the upper right of your entry's space).

- Type in the HTML code:

<img src="URL of image" height="# of pixels" width="# of pixels">

NOTE: With Flickr, just use the block of code above the pic's URL that they tell you to use...wouldn't want to violate their guidelines.

- Uncheck the "View HTML source" box to get back to the regular blog screen.

WARNING: Do not save your entry with out adding some text.

- Click "Save"

* This method allows you to use any formatted image as long as it's hosted on an online server and not only your hard drive. Check each service for their list of accepted file types before choosing one.

3) SLIDESHOWS:

Create slideshows to embed in a blog entry and then choose to highlight the entry to make it appear on the top right side of your blog (if you like). Slideshow services: slide.com, rockyou.com, photobucket.com (although photobucket limits the number of pictures in one slideshow album), picasa.google.com:

- Find the embed code for the album that you want to add.

- Click on "My Blog" and create a new entry.

- Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.

- Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.

- Click "Show Options" link at the bottom of the entry and click the highlight option.

- Click the box next to "View HTML source" to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.

- Click "Save" button and see if it appears.

Answer 3

Hi, my dear friend. I really surprised to me that you had gone away of Yahoo! 360°. That icon is impossible to erase, only you can replace it with some album on Flickr because Yahoo! Photos is over now.
