So let me get this straight...We can't upload pictures onto yahoo 360 anymore?

Question

I wanted to use a picture for my yahoo answers pic, and I signed up onto Yahoo 360. Then I try to upload an image and it doesn't work? WTH? Did they shut it down or something? Is there any other possible way to get a picture ontot my yahoo answers picture?

Answer 1

You have to be patient with this feature. NOTE: The image may not show up right away in Y/A, as it sometimes take days for the system to catch up. So, in the meantime, you will be without any picture on Y/A (blank, grayed out, messed up...whatever you want to call it).

BUT FIRST make sure you are following these procedures to get a pic on Y!360:

Make sure a JPEG formatted photo (with .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe extension) under 5MB is saved to your hard drive.  You can get an image anywhere really. You can search for images via keyword searches on Google at http://images.google.com . Right-click on the image and choose "Save Image As" or something similar to save an image 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.

UPDATE: And no, there is no other way to get a picture as a Y/A image.
