How do I share a photo set from Flickr on my Yahoo 360 page?

  • I have tried several times, change permission levels to "public", but still it does not show up on my 360. Any suggestions on what to do to get this set right?

  • Answer:

    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 an universal profile 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. The "Share Photos" module is basically busted. 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: <img src="URL of image" height="# of pixels" width="# of pixels"> 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) You can no longer embed slideshows due to a recent Yahoo! 360 glitch re: flash-based objects, but it was an option prior to the end of September 2008.
