Question

why can't I upload a photo to set it is a avatar...

Answer 1

You can. First, you need a Yahoo 360 picture. If you haven't set up a Yahoo 360 page--do that first. Just put a picture there and nothing else. You don't have to make the 360 page public.

Next, in Yahoo Answers:

Click on your screen name below your avatar.

Click on "Edit My Info"

Click on "My Yahoo! 360 Picture"

Next, click "Preview" at the bottom of the Yahoo Answers page

Finally, click "OK

Answer 2

Here are complete instructions for you to follow, just in case you missed a step in the process. It's not clear what you've done to try to get the feature to work. Please double check that you have done the following:

Create a 360 space at http://360.yahoo.com . While logged into a yahoo service (mail, answers, whatever), type 360.yahoo.com in your web browser's address field (or just type 360 in a Yahoo! toolbar). Start creating your 360 space from there. Click the BIG YELLOW "Get Started" BUTTON on the far right section of that page.

After that, you can log in by by clicking on the teeny tiny "Sign-in" button on the upper left of the page. Then, the page refreshes and click on the teeny tiny "Yahoo 360 Home" link on the upper right of the page to get into the 360 space.

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 (if you've uploaded more than one image).

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: hhttp://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/gui...

Then, come back to Yahoo! Answers.

- Make sure that it is the same Yahoo ID that you used for 360.

- 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.

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 (i.e. the gray unisex icon) or an old 360 image. Just go through the above 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 ) and forget about using the 360 image.

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.

Answer 3

PERSONAL PICTURE:-

♦To use your own picture on Yahoo Answers you need to first make a Yahoo 360 account.

♦To make one click on the link http://360.yahoo.com. Follow the steps to create one. Next click ‘My page’ at the top, click ‘Edit Personal photos’. Click Browse and drop the photos from your drive. To convert it to JPG format go to Microsoft paint and open that photo. Click ‘Save As’ JPG in your drive.

♦When you are done click ‘Save’ at the bottom of the page where you had browsed that photo. It takes awhile to upload depending on your server and connectivity. If there is no disturbance then it should get uploaded immediately!

♦When its uploaded click on Edit personal photos once again and ticks on 'Set as primary’. Click this link http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit.   Tick ‘Use my 360 picture’. Login once again to get the photo instead of the Avatar.

•NOTE: -Read the Community Guidelines before uploading the picture!

Hope this Helps!!

Best Wishes and Good Luck!  :)
