I think I know what the problem is. Let me try to help.
Edit Profile Picture
The photo you uploaded in this area will show up in your profile page. That is, when a member clicks your name (or avatar) in one of your forum posts, he will see your profile (the photo you uploaded, some details about yourself, contact information, your buddy list etc.) Of course, if you didn't input info in the Edit Profile area, nothing will show up.
Edit Avatar
I think this is what you are unsuccessfully trying to do. An avatar is an image (whether your photo, caricature, favorite fictional character or what-nots... no nudity please!) that appear beside your name when you post in the forums.
There's no time delay once you uploaded your avatar. It will show right away on your posts, whether a new one or your existing posts. That is of course, if you have successfully uploaded it. Anyway, our system is user friendly, it will tell you if you are successful or not. Just keep note of our uploaded images guidelines (100x100 or 19kb filesize).
I hope this solves your dilemma. Enjoy your stay!
