Default Changing profile picture

I went to the Edit Profile Picture, uploaded my new picture, clicked Save Changes and the new picture shows up as Your Current Profile Picture. When I post a new message on the forum my old picture keeps showing up. The old picture has been removed and the new picture has been showing up as My Current Profile Picture for a week now. How long does it take for the new picture to show up? Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.

The picture you see in a post is called AVATAR. When you left click your screen name, the profile page will open. You'll find your profile image in the left hand top corner. Your avatar image is in the right hand top corner.

To change the avatar image, go to UserCP and choose the Edit Avatar option.

It looks like the picture I'm trying to change is my Signature picture. I've deleted the current Signature picture and am trying to upload a new pictures from my Webshots album. I have options for reducing the size of the picture which has worked in the past but I cannot get the picture to upload. Evertime i try to upload with different sizes it keeps telling me INVALID URL. Every time I try to upload a picture to this site Ii is difficult and somehow I figure out the right thing to do and it happens. I wouldn't think it should take hours of trying different upload files to get one that works. When I have been able to get a picture to upload I havent wrighten down the exact procedure for future reference. I don't have any problems loading pictures on other sites that I visit. Any help will be appreciated.

There's your clue, the file is invalid. You must either have your
pictures at a sever site like Photobucket or similar, or on your
computer. If your present location has links you need to copy the
link for direct linking, it will look like this with a different name.

Btw, if your photos are at Photobucket you'll not need to resize
for sig pic's. The forum will automatically do it for you.

I finally got it. Trying to upload from Webshots just wasn't working so I sent the picture from my computer to my e-mail. When sending a picture to an e-mail it allows me to resize the picture. I then sent the picture from my e-mail to my computer pictures. From there I was able to upload the picture through the browse button. I hope I can remember this for the next time.
