The photo/image needs to be saved on your computer as a jpg file, don't worry about the size to much yahoo will adapt it. Then go to the following 4 steps. below
1> Go to your 360 page then click "my page” (top of page).
2> Click "edit personal photo" (on the left above photo window).
3> Click “browse” choose the photo from your photos click "save", Set as primary and "save".
4> Go to your “edit my profile” http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit click “use my yahoo 360 picture” scroll down and press "preview", and then "OK" in the next screen.
And your done.
Yahoo engineers are still working on improvements throughout all yahoo sites and some avatars may be slow to show (it could even be a day or so) so try to be patient.

As of March 19, Yahoo! Answers has said that your picture (other than the Yahoo! Avatar) must come from the Yahoo! Profile instead of Yahoo! 360. Of course, things are a bit slow. lol. The Yahoo! Profile linkage with Yahoo! Answers may not be working for everyone. I'll give full instructions for both methods below and what you've done already, you can ignore. I recommend that you do both methods and wait:
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/profile... ), 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/... .
See http://yanswersblog.com/index.php/archives/2009/03... , http://yanswersblog.com/index.php/archives/2009/03... , and http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/profiles/cctop10/... 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 (obviously, if you already have a 360 space activated, you don't have to do this part). Click on the teeny tiny "Yahoo 360 Home" link on the upper right of the ending activation 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/gu... .
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. Click Preview and then the OK button. Then, WAIT.
*** Again, if it doesn't let you select that option right away, try to adjust your Yahoo! Answers settings at a later date.
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 use a Yahoo! Avatar (http://avatars.yahoo.com/ ) and forget about using a different image (at least for now)
