Why isn't my personal picture visible on Yahoo Answers?

Yahoo 360 picture as Yahoo answers picture ?

• I had it working for a while and then when I tried to change my 360 picture my answers picture didn't change so I tried to fix it by choosing no picture then 360 picture and now I have no picture of me. How can I fix this?

• Answer:

  Many other people are having this problem based on previous, recent questions about it in this category. Also, this is not solely a Y!360 issue. You will need to be patient. If you've gone through the process of changing your image on Yahoo! 360 (& choosing it as primary, if more than one image is uploaded), making the sure the right settings are chosen in your Y/A profile, then all that's left is to wait. The image may not show up right away in Y/A, as it sometimes take days (and for some 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 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. ANOTHER TIP: 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. Also, 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.
