Is anyone else having trouble with 360 saving their picture - I know I only get 3 but it will only save?

Question

my Avatar and 1 other picture. When I go to "Edit" pictures- the one I put there is not even in the "browse" box - it is as if nothing were ever put there in the first place and this is a picture I have put in before so I know the size is right, etc.

Thanks for you help!

Answer 1

Yes, I am only able to use 2 spots in that module (including the avatar) and are unable to make any changes except to the avatar. It has been this way for well over a year. The personal profile picture module is supposed to allow you to use 4 spots (including the avatar, if you wish).

Some people can't upload any images to that module, so consider yourself fortunate. You may still find people with 4 pics in the module though.

Make sure that the image that you are using is a JPEG formatted photo (with .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe extension) under 5MB that's saved to your hard drive.

If you happen to have a red x in a spot, you can delete a remaining picture to possible get rid of that empty placeholder. But really, I recommend that you leave the module completely alone because it can cause other serious problems on your page like it making your Top Page very long - which may or may not be fixable. Also, you may lose your remaining spot. There is really nothing that can be done about this issue and if you try to mess with it, you are taking the risk of having worse things happen. This has been a buggy module for a long time.

Also, please note the 360 community guidelines (http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/gui... ) regarding mature content. The personal profile area is a public area, which can't be changed from that status. Adult images must be placed ONLY in the blog under mature content controls. If you have been reported for adult images in that module or in the 360 background, then Yahoo could have removed those images. This inadvertently could have resulted in those spots being lost as well.

The Y!360 team is no longer fixing glitches, so there is no point in contacting them. They are preparing to move the service to a new platform in the 2nd half of 2008, which you can read about here: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 .

Answer 2

<--- I was here last time I checked

It might not be 360, the problem could be the site where your Avatar lives.

Answer 3

The only thing I can say is make sure you hit the save button down the bottom of that page after you find the pic you want. LOL
