Pld help regarding my yahoo 360 profile?

Question

how do i add friends frm yahoo answers to my yahoo 360 profile?

Answer 1

****** You need to have a way to find them on Y!360:

- Click on their avatar or name in Y/A, which will take you to their Y/A profile. They may have a link to their 360 space there.

- If you see an IM link in a Y/A profile and no 360 link, you can try to find their 360 space by adding that Yahoo ID to the end of the main 360 address. For example: http://360.yahoo.com/kee_y360 .

This is called a Simple URL. For more about Simple URLs, see http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Eha... . Not everyone has chosen to enable that feature though.

- If there is only an e-mail link in the Y/A profile, you can use it to contact them regarding their 360 space. Perhaps they'll give you the URL or say that they don't use the service. It never hurts to ask.

******** After you get the existence of a 360 space established for a Y/A contact, then you can try inviting them.

- Either use the "Invite" page and follow the instructions here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/fri... . This feature is MAINLY for inviting people who are already in your Yahoo! Mail address book OR your Yahoo! Messenger buddy list.

- Or go to a friend's page and click the "Add" link under their personal profile picture and make sure to check the "Invite As a Friend" box before sending the invitation.

In both cases, the person needs to go to their 360 mailbox and ACCEPT the invitation so that they show up in your contact list, friends list, and friends module.

If everyone is connected to each other, then you will see a "blue person icon" next to their name under the "Contacts" box (left side, bottom) on your 360 "Home" page. They will also appear in your Friends module on the Top Page. If you see a green cross, an invitation hasn't been accepted yet, but it was sent by someone. Also, that can happen if you click the "Add" link under a person's profile picture on their 360 page and chose to send the invitation as a FAVORITE, rather than a FRIEND. This means you opted not to select the "Invite as a Friend" box before submitting the invite. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/ca/yahoo/360/fri... for more information about Favorites. You can have up to 300 connections, but only 100 outstanding invitations at once.

There are communications settings to consider - click your "Edit Contact Settings" link under your personal profile picture on the "My Page." Make sure they are set to "Everyone in 360" (or "Friends of Friends" if you are under age 18) for now. You can always change it whenever you want.

If you find that your invitation isn't working, it could be for the following reasons:

1) If a person's Yahoo! 360 page is not activated, you will not be able invite them. It will say that they are not accepting invitations at this time. Everyone has 360 attached to their Yahoo account,  but it stays dormant until it is activated (i.e. used for the first time). If the invite is sent to an address other than a Yahoo-related one, then it won't work.

2) If they have an activated 360 page, but their Communications Settings are set to "Friends of Friends" instead of "Everyone 360" in terms of invitations - and you are not a "Friends of Friends" - then your invitation will not be received.

3) They denied the invitation.

4) You are on the person's "ignore" list, thus communications from you are not received. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/fri... for more information.

5) However, if the invite shows that it was sent in your "Sent" folder and if you are certain that you are not blocked by that person at all (based on the above statements), then you are probably experiencing a 360 glitch. It may take a long time for the invite to arrive in the inbox. You can wait or keep trying to send invites back and forth in the hopes that one will go through. Same deal if the invitation is received, but the Accept and Deny buttons aren't working.
