Ok, I know you have to go into settings in 360 to make it the profile people see in messenger, and I’ve done that…I click save…it works momentarily (I have my own name on my messenger list just to see what it does and the little star showing 360 content will show up), but then when I sign out of messenger it defaults to the regular profile the next time I sign in.
Is there something I’m forgetting to do? Some setting in the actual Yahoo messenger that’s changing it? It’s sooooo frustrating, any help is appreciated.

Yes I’ve tried both the second and the third selection, plus having the URL checked too with each of them, then I pressed save, …it works temporarily until I sign out…then poof it’s gone. Maybe it’s just a glitch? I did write to Yahoo asking but haven’t heard back yet, they probably have a gazillion emails like that to wade through I suppose. Maybe I should try a clean reinstall of Messenger, it might be something in there that’s not keeping it, who knows. (guessing now lol)

But just one point – YMessenger, while it “integrates” somewhat with Y360, does not – I’m sure – affect your actual settings in 360.
So reinstalling YM could be of no help.
Your first post mentioned it reverting back “when you exited Messenger” – well, try having nothing to do with YM – just go direct to http://360.yahoo.com and change/save your settings – then exit your browser, then go back into it, and see if the settings are (surely!?) still saved.
Then, to check it (still without going near YM) go to http://profiles.yahoo.com/(your-ID) – and confirm whether it goes to your “old-type” YProfile, or to your 360.
Whichever it is, then surely that is also what anyone on YM will see, when THEY try to view your profile.
AFTERTHOUGHT: Having perused your posts again Blues, I wonder if u r concerned only about the presence/absence of the yellow sunburst beside your name on YM list ? If so, I suggest don’t worry – it comes and goes almost randomly lately – I think a glitch at Yahoo/360 end!
It is MEANT, I think, to appear beside your name for aprox 24 hours after you make any CHANGE to your 360 page, to alert friends to go check it out. It worked pretty well like that till a month or so ago, but lately seems more often than not NOT to show. -
