Yahoo! Answers Help? 360 picture not working? The one who solves the problem gets ten points!?

Question

I previously had my Yahoo! 360 photo set as my Yahoo! Answers icon. Decided I wanted to change it, I chose a new picture. Set as primary and saved. Didn't work. I deleted all my pictures, kept only one that was set as primary. Still doesn't work.

I edit my info on Yahoo! Answers to make sure the circle displaying "Use My Yahoo! 360 Picture" was chosen. It was. The icon was of a little red x, not my 360 photo.

It's been a few hours since I set it, and it's still not working. :[[ Does it just take more time, or is it a problem? Ten points to best answerer. Appropiate suggestions taken. Thanks in advanced.

Answer 1

I went through about 2 hrs of trying to get mine to work. I researched and found that YA's is changing, and this is presently a glitch that comes with the change. I was quite frustrated yesterday. I also heard from another poster that they've been waiting for 4 days now for their new picture to post......This is what I found that may help a little:

Update on 360 Transition and Timing

Hi Everyone,

Here’s the latest news on the transition from your 360 page to your new profile on Yahoo!: It will be taking place sometime in the second half of 2008. We don’t have specifics on the date to share just yet, but you’ll be among the first to know. For now just keep this in mind: 2nd half ’08.

I know you get a lot out of 360, and that there’s a good chance you’ve used it to deepen friendships and extend connections near and far. So, I completely understand that you might not exactly be “chomping at the bit” for the shift to the new system (i.e., that you might be dreading it on some level).

Well let me first say that it’s truly Yahoo!’s honor to offer a service you rely on to fulfill those requirements—keeping your friendships vibrant and even building new connections. Yahoo!’s promise to you is we absolutely won’t let that drop!

In fact, our upcoming (currently occurring) shift is based on these same core principles, but expands them across the entire Yahoo! network—so you can share your interests and activity with your community, and discover new content and experiences from your trusted friends. The approach gets a good description in the following articles and blog posts:

Yahoo Open Strategy – Web 2.0 Presentation

Yahoo rewiring itself from the inside out

For example, your Profile will be integrated into the new Yahoo! Mail welcome page which will surface messages from the people who matter to you most. Additionally, you will see Updates from your important connections helping you to discover new content and activities in real-time.

As part of Yahoo!’s initiative to open-up, users will be able to add applications from Yahoo and third parties on their Profile page and various Yahoo sites and pages, including the home page of Yahoo.

Finally, let’s get down to the nuts and bolts of what this means to you and your 360 account. We’ll migrate your profile photo, your nickname, your friends lists, blog posts and blog comments.

We will continue to provide updates on the transition as we have more information.
