My yahoo avatar wont change to my 360 picture?

Question

I have a few pics in yahoo 360 but whenever I go to edit my info in yahoo answers and it says choose a picture, my yahoo 360 pic doesnt show up and it only shows that grey pic of nobody. how can I get my yahoo 360 pic as my avatar for Answers?

Answer 1

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, old, messed up...whatever you want to call it). Just go through the below 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 ) in Y/A and don't use the image feature.

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.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Make sure that you are using the same Yahoo ID in 360 as you are in Yahoo! Answers. 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 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. 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.

Answer 2

The reason you are having so many problems with your 360 picture is .. we are losing our Yahoo 360 accounts very soon according to the Yahoo product blog you can access by going to this link:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360

There are many problems that will not be fixed by Yahoo on the 360, and they are getting worse each passing day. Sending them a bug report about a problem on your page will be ignored or a mass emailer will be sent to you.

I urge you to go to the product blog and read the information for the last  postings by yahoo about all of the changes that are coming to us soon.
