    The Flickr photostream is not working for many people. It's not updating at this time. Y!360 is no longer working on the problem.

    Make sure that you have done the following:

    - Click on your 360 "My Page" link at the top

    - Click on the "Share Photos" link in your Photos module on the right side

    - Scroll down to the Flickr section and follow the instructions there. If you need to click "Change User" to update the stream with a different Flickr ID.

    - Make sure that you select a group in the "Can be seen by:" dropdown before saving.

    NOTE: The photos may not show up immediately (it can take 3 days in some cases). The photos must also be PUBLIC in Flickr FIRST. Make sure to check how other people view your page by clicking on the drop down menu "Preview as seen by" at the top right of your 360 "My Page". Choose a permission group and click the "Go" button. Flickr is the only photo service compatible with your photos module on your 360 top page. I recommend setting up a free account with your Top Page Photos module.

    There are other ways to display pictures in 360 (but not on the Top Page, at the moment) like via the blog entry upload tool, drag and drop, a blog slideshow widget or RSS feeds. See my answer here on that:

    Lastly, Yahoo has decided to combine it's 3 services (360, Mash, and the regular Yahoo Members Profile) that basically accomplish the same thing (i.e. telling the world about yourself) into one service. They just haven't pinned down the "how" of creating this "universal profile".

    So, if there are things that you do like about Yahoo! 360 that you would like to see remain in tact, you should state those aspects on the Y!360 team's blog at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 .
