Answer 1

I have the same problem as, you can see I have no avatar. It's been going on for two days, there seems to be a glitch and Yahoo is working on it, I hope they fix it soon :]

Answer 2

Do the following step by step - I just tried it, it works.

Sorry for the lengthy tutorial but so many people were having problems I felt it necessary. Careful not to skip ANY steps.

here goes...

If you have Yahoo 360 and you'd like to use one of your own pictures, Click on your profile

Then 360 link (upper right)

then "My Page" (top bar right side)

Then Edit Photos (left column top)

then upload pictures in center of the page

***Since this is where everyone seems to get stuck I thought I'd add an extra few steps for clarification purposes****

To upload a photo to 360, remember...

Yahoo 360 Only allows 4 pictures so if you see a picture here that you no longer want Click "Remove Photo"

This will allow you to upload another photo from your computer.

As soon as you Click "Remove Photo" another box will pop up in it's place.

It will be that ugly gray shadow head and right next to it a long rectangle. Beside that Hit "Browse"

Now in the box that popped up locate the picture you want from your computer

Click on it

Now hit OPEN in the bottom of the box where it says File name

Now you will see the name of the file in the rectangular box

Now scroll down and click SAVE

(You won't actually see the picture change until you go back to your 360 page)

Ok Now you have just uploaded the photo to 360'

****

NOW

tick the pic U want to use as Primary

Then scroll down to SAVE

then close out of 360

Come back here to YA Profile

Edit settings

Scroll Down

Use My 360 Photo

Save

Done!

I just did this and it does work. You just need to have patience and do not skip any steps.

If you choose to "Create" an avatar like the cartoonish faces you see on here you can go to http://uk.avatars.yahoo.com/

Answer 3

This question is the most asked question in this category!

It is because we are losing our 360's sometime in the near future, from the information Yahoo has given us.. starting way back in October friend!

You can read the information that Yahoo has posted by going to the top of any of the 360 pages and clicking onto the Yahoo360News link there.. it links to the Yahoo 360 Product blog.

This is a bug or a glitch or it is not an option any more to us to use. You will have to use your avatar or the gray silouhette of the guy they have in the Answers profiles for us to use..

I would not try to link up to the 360 pictures any longer.
