If you upload it as an avatar you will see it in the pink bit at the left hand side under your name smile

edit: use it as an avatar too - its a lovely pic !

In the control panel use ‘edit avatar’ and then just upload the pic from your computer the same way you did for profile pic

try doing it again and then closing your browser, open the browser again then come back in again - that sometimes works
