Why doesn't my 360 button work on my yahoo toolbar?

Question

It's giving me a message that web page will not show

Answer 1

The usual methods used to get to the Y!360 are disappearing. They are removing Y!360 links from other Yahoo services - like the Y!Toolbar and Y! Messenger.

You should be able to do the following to access your 360, if you've already activated your 360:

- Log out of all Yahoo services

- Go to http://360.yahoo.com

- Click the teeny tiny "Sign-in" link on the upper left of the page. After signing in, the page refreshes and you should click on the teeny tiny "Yahoo 360 Home" link on the upper right of the page to get into the 360 space.

Make sure that you are using the Yahoo ID that was used to create your 360 space.

Also, you can just create a button for 360 in your browser's built-in Bookmarks/Favorites toolbar.

If you use Firefox, see http://mozilla.gunnars.net/firefox_bookm... .

If you use I.E. just drag the URL from the Address bar to your Favorites bar. See http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/comm... for a visual.

The reason is because Y!360 is transitioning into a different social networking platform in early 2008. There has not been a more specific date announced on the blog yet, so it could happen any time between January and end of March 2008. Yahoo is trying to centralize its profiling services - Y!Mash, Y!360, and the regular Members profile - into one. It likely will not be called 360 anymore, so yes, it's closing in a sense. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space. However, they are no longer fixing bugs related to Y!360, so there's no point in trying to contact them about those.
