Why won't my avatar change in YA?

Question

I have tried to change my avatar in my YA profile. I have the option of using my 360 picture, but it won't show it. I have the picture I want as my primary selected yet nothing has changed. Does the avatar have to be a certain size? I've selected a picture saved it and have tried restarting my pc and nothing. Any suggestions or tips. Looking to use Yoda as my avatar if that helps.

Answer 1

I have had the same problem these last few days. It knocked my uploaded picture off. I have tried everything to get it to load Ive been into the settings and everything but to no avail. I have had to revert back to my avator which I'm not to happy about lol !! :)

This is nothing you are doing wrong.

Yahoo going through transition to getting the new net work ready and this is causing major bugs in some of their services. And even Q&A will see some changes. After all the photo setting in answer profile will not be called yahoo 360 photo.

So these transition are making the system run a little slow and may take some time to show the changes. We need to keep trying to work around these bugs for a time yet but l hope the new network will get here fast.

There currently is a delay, when there usually is not. There is not nothing really anyone can do except alert the Y/A staff and wait. See my past answer on this subject here:

UPDATE: The latest word is that it's taking 3 to 4 days for the image to show up this time. Again, be patient. But it looks like Yoda has shown up! Congratulations.
