The Gallery ("Photos" in the menubar) is a separate area.

When it refers to Albums, it means the Albums you find directly on your Profile page. You have to upload your image to that area.

PS - The reason for 2 different areas for uploading photos was because originally the forums didn't have their own upload area; it was added in a later release with no easy way to import members' existing photos from our existing photo gallery.
