Answer by Edd e
If you want a photo/custom picture as your avatar you need to make a yahoo 360 account. http://360.yahoo.com/login.html?.done=http://360.yahoo.com/

The photo needs to be saved on your computer as a jpg file, don’t worry about the size to much yahoo will adapt it.

1> Go to your 360 page then click “my page” (top of page).

2> Click “edit personal photo” (on the left above photo window).

3> Click “browse” choose the photo from your photos click “save”, Set as primary and “save”.

4> Go to your “edit my profile” http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit click “use my yahoo 360 picture” scroll down and press “preview”, and then “OK” in the next screen.
And your done.

Yahoo engineers are still working on improvements throughout all yahoo sites and some avatars may be slow to show (it could even be a day or so) so try to be patient.

yes there must be a glitch in the system. I have been changing avatars for over a year now and this is the first time I couldn’t get one up. I have contacts also having the same problem. Since this is a problem for many, where it wasn’t before…there must be a glitch in the system.

Flickr Picture Sharing on Yahoo! 360… HOW ??

Question by mariner31: Flickr Picture Sharing on Yahoo! 360… HOW ??
I have a number of pictures posted to Flickr, and have for months now, but they will not yet appear on my 360! page. I’ve followed every procedure, but they still don’t appear.

I’ve also noted a number of other questions on this subject with answers such as “wait, it’s because of new users”:

Well, it’s been a year since Yahoo Photos closed and moved to Flickr, and 9 months since I posted photos, so lets get an actual answer please…

Thanks
Thanks Kee… I’m leaning towards a problem on Yahoo!’s behalf… on THEIR 360 “Help” pages, it still deals ONLY with Yahoo! Photos: which was discontinued a YEAR ago.

I guess perhaps it’s time to note ever advertiser on Yahoo! and write THEM that I will refuse to purchase THEIR products or services until THEY pressure YAHOO! to fix the issue

You’re welcome.

Well, you can do that OR wait. The Y!360 team is no longer addressing bug reports (and probably making only minimal updates to its help section), as it prepares to launch a new social-networking system in the 2nd half of 2008. There’s really no point in contacting the Y!360 team (except for Abuse reports), as you will likely only get an automated message. See http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 for more details. The transition was announced in October 2007. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the “Yahoo! 360 News” link in the upper right corner of your 360 space.

Perhaps the problem between 360 and Flickr will be fixed if we transfer to the new system.
____________________________________________________
Actual answer incoming…

Flickr blames the photostream problem on Y!360, but had been working with them on fixing it. Yet the work on that issue stopped after Y!360 announced plans to move to a new social networking system during the 2nd half 2008. Read more about it here: http://flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/56845/ .

In short, you should give up on trying to share a photostream on your 360 space. For many people, it never worked or stopped working properly eons ago.

There are other ways to share images on your 360 space, but it will mostly be in your blog area:

1) Above your entry space, click the “Browse” button for the photo upload tool. Search for the image that’s saved to your hard drive. It must be a JPEG formatted image (extension ending with .jpg, .jpeg, and .jpe) and under 5 MB in file size.
* The picture will appear above your entry and doing it this way, you can only use one picture.

NOTE: The following methods require that your image is hosted via an online hosting service like Flickr (http://flickr.com ) and Photobucket (http://photobucket.com/ ):

2) Check out the 360 team post on dragging & dropping photos into blogs: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Ehaak.hdNZkEAzDrpa4Q–?cq=1&p=4294
* This method allows many photos to be used in an entry, with your choice in placement. Make sure that you are using an image that’s on it’s own page (not on a page that is shared with others). So click on the image and get to that image’s full detail page (likely the largest view of the picture, not the thumbnail).

3) Copy and paste an absolute URL for the image (which looks http://www.domainname.com/nameoffile.gif or .jpg….something similar to that) into a blog entry.
- Check the box next “View HTML source” box (on the upper right of your entry’s space).
- Type in the HTML code:
Flickr Picture Sharing on Yahoo! 360... HOW ??
NOTE: With Flickr, just use the block of code above the pic’s URL that they tell you to use…wouldn’t want to violate their guidelines.
- Uncheck the “View HTML source” box to get back to the regular blog screen.
WARNING: Do not save your entry with out adding some text.
- Click “Save”
* This method allows you to use any formatted image as long as it’s hosted on an online server and not only your hard drive. Check each service for their list of accepted file types before choosing one.

4) SLIDESHOWS:
Create slideshows to embed in a blog entry and then choose to highlight the entry to make it appear on the top right side of your blog (if you like). Slideshow services: slide.com, rockyou.com, photobucket.com (although photobucket limits the number of pictures in one slideshow album), picasa.google.com :
- Find the embed code for the album that you want to add.
- Click on “My Blog” and create a new entry.
- Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.
- Click the box next to “View HTML source” in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.
- Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.
- Click “Show Options” link at the bottom of the entry and click the highlight option.
- Click the box next to “View HTML source” to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.
- Click “Save” button and see if it appears.

Why does my yahoo 360 c. doesn’t show the picture?

Question by Girl Power: Why does my yahoo 360 c. doesn’t show the picture?
when I click on the yahoo 360 c. will bring me to the beta profile page instead of yahoo 360c…what should I do?

Best answer:

Answer by kee
Create a 360 space at http://360.yahoo.com . Click the “Get Started” button on the far right section of that page. After going through the activation process, you can click on the teeny tiny “Yahoo 360 Home” link on the upper right of that page (or the 360 main page) to get into the 360 space.

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/Personal 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 (if you’ve uploaded more than one image).

Then, come back to Yahoo! Answers.
- Make sure that it is the same Yahoo ID that you used for 360.
- 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 image may not show up right away in Y/A, as it sometimes takes minutes, hours, days, or weeks for the system to catch up. So, in the meantime, you will be without any picture on Y/A (a gray unisex icon) or an old 360 image. Just go through the above 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.

OTHER TIPS:
*** If the 360 space is recently activated, you may want to wait a few days before changing settings, as Y/A may not recognize that you have a 360 space right away.
*** You may want to enable all the communication options on your Y/A profile and/or enable the Simple URL option in your Yahoo! 360 “Basic Info” and “Blog” settings pages. Sometimes that helps make the Y!360 image appear in your Y/A profile for an unknown reason. You still may have to wait for anything to happen though.
*** Although, some people have found limited success in continually trying to re-select the 360 image option in their Y/A profile. I recommend waiting though, as to not inadvertently cause further delay.
*** 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=answers . This link between Y/A and Y!360 has been buggy for years.

Question by MissTiff: Yahoo 360 profile picture help?
I want my main picture on yahoo answers to be my 360 profile picture. Right now it is my avatar’s face but I want my 360 picture as my main picture. When I put my picture as my 360, it doesn’t show the picture, just that one picture that’s grey and shows a random head?? So I’m kind of confused. I don’t know how to get it to work but if anyone can help me that would be great.

Best answer:

Answer by Misty M
I thought I was doing something wrong too. But it turns out that it can take up to a day for the picture to show here on yahoo answers. Just set your avatar to use the 360 picture on your profile page, save and exit. You will have to put up with the generic gray guy until it finally changes. It took mine about 5 hours. So just have patients.

anyone know anyway to put a GIF picture on yahoo 360??

Question by Liddlehopper: anyone know anyway to put a GIF picture on yahoo 360??
I really want to, but i cant figure it out, it only takes jpg pictures, is there anywhere on the site i can put it?!?

Best answer:

Answer by kee
Yes, there are 4 ways that you can do it and it can only be done in your blog area.

1) RE-FORMAT: You can save yourself some trouble and just re-format the GIF image into JPEG format to be use anywhere on your 360 (as long as it’s not an animated GIF – which you can only put in your blog – and that it fits under the module’s file size specifications). Microsoft Paint is on most Windows computers with Microsoft software in the Accessories programs section.
- Open Paint, then open the image file from within Paint.
- Choose the File menu, then “Save As”.
- From the File Type dropdown, choose JPEG.
- Adjust the quality if you like and then click “Save”.

2) DRAG & DROP: Check out the 360 team post on dragging & dropping photos into blogs: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-1qCkw2Ehaak.hdNZkEAzDrpa4Q–?cq=1&p=4294

* This method allows many photos to be used in an entry, with your choice in placement. Make sure that you are using an image that’s on it’s own page (not on a page that is shared with others). So click on the image and get to that image’s full detail page (likely the largest view of the picture, not the thumbnail).

3) HTML CODE: Copy and paste an absolute URL for the image (which looks http://www.domainname.com/nameoffile.gif or .jpg….something similar to that) into a blog entry.
- Check the box next “View HTML source” box (on the upper right of your entry’s space).
- Type in the HTML code:

NOTE: With Flickr, just use the block of code above the pic’s URL that they tell you to use…wouldn’t want to violate their guidelines.
- Uncheck the “View HTML source” box to get back to the regular blog screen.

* This method allows you to use any formatted image as long as it’s hosted on an online server and not only your hard drive. Check each service for their list of accepted file types before choosing one.

4) SLIDESHOWS: If the slideshow site allows the uploading of GIFs, then you can create slideshows to embed in a blog entry. You can choose to highlight the entry to make it appear on the top right side of your blog (if you like). I use slide.com and use photos from my hard drive for this service. Other slideshow services: rockyou.com, photobucket.com (although photobucket limits the number of pictures in one slideshow album), picasa.google.com (highly recommended)…you’d have to check the file format restrictions of each service before trying it:
- Find the embed code for the album that you want to add.
- Click on “My Blog” and create a new entry.
- Type some text in the actual entry space as well, as it might not save.
- Click the box next to “View HTML source” in the upper right of the entry space before adding code.
- Copy the embed code and paste it into the space.
- Click “Show Options” link at the bottom of the entry and click the highlight option.
- Click the box next to “View HTML source” to get back to regular view if necessary. It may not show up until the entry is Previewed or Saved.

Question by icklesickle: what is a 360 picture?
i know that it is a picture for your yahoo account..
right?

but how are you supposed to upload it? do you have to download a newer version of yahoo?
help:(

Best answer:

Answer by kee (WRONG CATEGORY FOR XBOX ?s)
In order for you to use an image as your picture on Yahoo! Answers, you need to upload the image to the Yahoo! 360 beta service first. Yahoo! 360 (http://360.yahoo.com ) is just an extensive profile (i.e. telling the world about yourself through blogs, lists, and etc.). It is soon to be integrated into the new Yahoo! Profile (which automatically comes with your primary Yahoo ID – http://profile.yahoo.com ). So, until then, this how you utilize the 360 picture feature:

Create a 360 space at http://360.yahoo.com . Click “Get Started” button on the far right section of that page. After going through the activation process, you can click on the teeny tiny “Yahoo 360 Home” link on the upper right of that page (or the 360 main page) to get into the 360 space.

Make sure a JPEG formatted photo (with .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe extension) under 5MB is saved to your hard drive.

This is how you should add pictures to your blog:

You can do it four ways:
1) Above your entry space, click the “Browse” button for the photo upload tool. Search for the image that’s saved to your hard drive. It must be a JPEG formatted image (extension ending with .jpg, .jpeg, and .jpe) and under 5 MB in file size.
* The picture will appear above your entry and doing it this way, you can only use one picture.
