press ctrl f5 to refresh

or does it say "generic error" or whatever when you try and upload it?

Apparently that's a common problem here so I would just wait if I were you.

when blf updates a profile picture the url stays the same so your computer will keep the cached version. clear your cached images and files to fix it

also it has to be 75x75 (or less?) and there's a maximum file size limit

sometimes my .png avatars wouldn't upload, so i exported them as low-quality .jpgs and they worked
