Patience is necessary when using the 360 image feature.
The image may not show up right away in Yahoo! Answers, as it sometimes take 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), the area may show words/red box, or an old 360 image. I recommend just going through the process and letting your picture stay that way until the system makes your 360 image appear. If you don't want to wait, then use the Yahoo! Avatar (http://avatars.yahoo.com/ ) and forget about using the 360 image.
