How do you get your Yahoo profile pic for an avatar?

How do I get a pic of myself on my Yahoo 360 so that I can use it as my YA avatar?

  • First of all, I already know that to switch from my Yahoo avatar to my 360 avatar, I just go to edit my profile and then choose My 360 avatar or whatever. What I need to know how to get a pic of myself on my Yahoo 360 avatar. I already have a few pics of myself saved onto a USB Flash Stick. Now I just want to know how to get it as my picture on my Yahoo 360, which I hope to use as my YA avatar. Could you give me step by step directions as to how to do it? I've been wanting to do this by myself for a while with little or no success. Thank you. VIVA LA RAZA!

  • Answer:

    ok go to your profile. Then go to 360. after your logged in go to "my page" which is on the right. Then go to "edit personal photos". and then you'll see like a thing that saysa "browse" and click it. select the picture from wherever it is and click ok. then click upload.

UPDATED (twice): Yahoo! Answers is in the process of changing how people post images. Supposedly as of March 19, 2009, if you want to use a picture on Yahoo! Answers that is not a Yahoo! Avatar, then you need to do so through your Yahoo! Profile instead of Yahoo! 360. However, it doesn't seem like the feature is working for everyone. So, try two different methods: 1) Via the Yahoo! Profile - 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. - Click "Get my Yahoo! 360 account now!" in the picture section. It'll actually lead you to the Yahoo! Profile, not Yahoo! 360. - Once you get your Yahoo! Profile (http://profiles.yahoo.com ) set up with a photo via these instructions (http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/profiles/photos/01.html ), then come back to Yahoo! Answers (http://answers.yahoo.com ). - Scroll down to the image section and check the option of showing the 360 picture (even though, technically it's the Y!Profile picture) or Y!Profile picture. Select the option whether there's an image showing there or not. *** If you can't click the image option yet, then you'll have to wait for Yahoo! Answers to get the feature working for you. Maybe come back the next day to see if you can click on that option. Click Preview and then the OK button. Then, wait for the image to show up. See Yahoo! Answers instructions on the subject: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/profiles/profiles-751483.html . See http://yanswersblog.com/index.php/archives/2009/03/18/what%E2%80%99s-happening-to-my-image/ , http://yanswersblog.com/index.php/archives/2009/03/09/whats-the-scoop-on-profiles , and http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/profiles/cctop10/top-8.html for more details. 2) Via Yahoo! 360 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). You can't upload more than 4 profile pictures (this includes an avatar). Make sure that you are following the 360 Personal Photo guidelines here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/guidelines/guidelines-06.html . 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. Again, if it doesn't let you select that option right away, try again later. Click Preview and then the OK button. Then, WAIT. NOTE: The image may not show up right away in Y/A, as it sometimes take 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. Yet if you don't want to wait for either the Y!Profile or Yahoo! 360 method to work, then just continue using a Yahoo! Avatar (http://avatars.yahoo.com ) and forget about using the 360 image.
