Why won't my avatar picture show up?

Question

I wanted to have a photograph instead of my little cartoon character picture (I can't remember what they are called) so I edited the picture in my 360 profile to the photo I wanted. It shows up fine in there, but when I change my Yahoo! Answers picture to display my 360 picture it doesn't show up. I just get the greyed out picture. How can I get my photo to show?

Answer 1

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 image. Just go through the 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.

Make sure that if you have uploaded more than one image to your 360, that you choose the "select as primary" radio button before saving the module. Make sure that you are using the same Yahoo ID for Y/A as you are for 360.
