Yahoo! 360 Blog?

Question

What happen to the Yahoo 360 blog? I can't upload any more games or stuffs by using embed or Html code, except pictures.

Tell me why and how to fix it if you know.

Answer 1

I didn't have that issue the last time I posted a blog (July 20, 2008) with games, but I do have some recommendations.

1) Make sure that you are using flash-based games (and other widgets). Java or Javascript code don't work in 360. Also, make sure that you are clicking the "View HTML Source" box on the blog entry's toolbar before pasting code into it. You should add text to the entry as well, or else the entry may not save. Check that the Adobe Flash plug-in for your browser is updated - see http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/... .

2) If the above doesn't help, Please clear your browser's cache and cookies. Before clearing cookies, make sure you know your passwords to sites.

CACHE:

In Internet Explorer, see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/usin...

In Firefox, click the "Clear Cache Now" button under Tools > Options > Privacy > Cache.

In Safari, under the Safari menu is an option to Empty Cache; select this.

COOKIES:

In Firefox, do this under Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies > Clear Cookies Now

In Internet Explorer, do this under Tools > Internet Options > General > Browsing History > Delete > Delete Cookies > Yes

In Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu and click Security. Click Show Cookies, then click the option to Remove cookies.

Then, restart your computer.

3) Chalk it up as a glitch on your 360 space. You can try waiting some days to see if it clears up. Also, Y!360 is transitioning into a different social networking platform in the 2nd half of 2008. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details or click the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right 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 it. For more information on 360 glitches, see http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-4D4zxsg6f... .

4) If you don't want to wait for anything, start a new 360 space. Set up a completely new account by going to any Yahoo sign-in page and clicking "Sign Up" on the lower right side (http://mail.yahoo.com , is preferred). Then, go to http://360.yahoo.com under the new ID and click the "Get Started" button to activate the 360 for it. However, there's no guarantee that you won't encounter the same problem.
