make any of my 360 pics my answers pic? RAWR!! it worked before but now it comes up with a white box with a red cross in the corner, and the pic doesn't show up! *Bites you*

Answer 1

I can't see your pic... yet.

The image link between Y!360 and Y/A is historically buggy. If your image is showing on Y!360 just fine and you have tried to get it to show on Y/A, there may be a delay of days or weeks. It depends on what's going on. But typically, you just have to change the settings to what's necessary and be patient. Also, it helps to search the Y/A forum (http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answe... ) to see if the issue is being addressed or if others are having the same problem. It's a soothing feeling to know that you're not the only one, even if there's nothing you can do about it.

Here are the basic instructions, so make sure that you've followed them:

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.

NOTE: The Y!360 team is no longer addressing bug reports, as it prepares to launch a new social-networking system. 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.

Answer 2

Thats a good sign .It should be a day or two. Have you set up the right one. Go to profile, then edit my info, then get 360 account.

Answer 3

A lot of users have posted as having the same problem with the 360 avatar. Yahoo have started major updates to all of its servers, the avatar will show eventually some report waiting 2-4 days before the avatar shows. so try to be patient.
