You're likely trying to upload too large of a file. An avatar and profile picture are like thumbnails. You can't upload a large file and have it work. You need to resize the photo.

Please also make sure to review the Help Guide:

No, like I said, Avatar and Profile pictures are thumbnail sizes. The pictures you uploaded to the Album are way different (large).

Resizing pictures is a bit beyond the scope of a Corvette Forum, but if you learn to resize pictures the process can be used well outside of this forum.

Otherwise, post the picture you want used for the Avatar and Profile and maybe someone (or myself) will resize and change it for you.

Again, please make sure to read the Help Guide I linked. You asked for a profile picture. That is not going to display next to your posts. That is called an Avatar. The Help Guide that I linked explains that common mistake. A profile picture is only going to display if someone views your profile page - such as it does on your profile page in the left part of your profile page:
