What happened to my 360 page?
Y/A is making changes and I don't understand. I have no link to my 360 page. Is there a way to find it? Can someone help me with this? Thank you!

Parts of Yahoo! 360 are transitioning to the Yahoo! Profile and thus other services are making an adjustment in their settings. Your 360 space is likely still usable and accessible. It's just the Yahoo! Answers' turn for changes in their settings (i.e. your image being taken from the Y!Profile instead of Y!360, the change of the Y!360 link to a Y!Profile one).
IF YOU WANT ACCESS TO 360:
- Go to http://360.yahoo.com/
- Click the teeny tiny "Sign-in" link on the upper left of the page (if you are not already signed into a Yahoo service). After signing in, the page refreshes and you should click on the teeny tiny "Yahoo 360 Home" link on the upper right of the page to get into the 360 space.
- You can certainly bookmark the link in your browser.
IF YOU WANT A LINK TO YOUR 360 SPACE IN YOUR YAHOO! ANSWERS PROFILE AGAIN:
- Click "My Page" at the top of your 360 space
- Click the drop down menu "Preview as seen by" at the top right of your 360 "My Page".
- Choose PUBLIC as the permission group and click the "Go" button
- Click the "Top Page" link above your personal profile picture section on the left side.
- Select & copy the FULL web address that appears in your web browser's address bar (starting from the http:// part)
- Click "My Profile" to the upper right of this Yahoo! Answers page, then click "Edit My Info" in the top left box on the Answers profile page.
- Paste the address in your Y/A profile's "About Me" section. If you have a Simple URL setup, use that instead. Make sure A SPACE follows the address.
- Click the "Preview" button, then the "OK" button.
IF YOU WANT YOUR YAHOO! ANSWERS IMAGE TO BE THE SAME ONE THAT YOU USE IN YAHOO! 360:
Yahoo! Answers has said that your image must come from the Yahoo! Profile instead of Yahoo! 360, as of March 19, 2009.
Go to http://profiles.yahoo.com/ and upload the image that you're using in 360 there instead. Then, come back to Yahoo! Answers and choose the "Use my Profile image" option in your Yahoo! Answers' profile settings. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/profiles/photos/0... , http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers/profiles/... , and http://yanswersblog.com/index.php/archives/2009/03... for details.
If you still have "Yahoo! 360 options" in your Yahoo! Answers profile settings, then you will have to wait for Yahoo to change that to "Yahoo! Profile" settings. See http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/profiles/ for details of what you can do on the Yahoo! Profile.
NOTE: This transition was announced in October 2007 on the Yahoo! 360 product blog and the UPS actually started in a rudimentary beta form on October 16, 2008. The Y!360 part of the system hasn't been transferred over fully yet. See the links below for more details on what will be kept from 360 and what won't be kept (which I recommend that you take steps to save elsewhere).
- See blogs (old & new) at http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360 and http://www.yprofileblog.com/ for more details. The 360 team blog is also accessible via the "Yahoo! 360 News" link in the upper right corner of your 360 space. You can post complaints on the Yahoo! 360 blog, but don't expect a personal response.
