copied  this...Merrimacga Take a look at the [http://the-secret-society.wikia.com/wiki/User:Merrimacga#Like_my_profile_page.3F_Here.27s_a_primer. primer] section of my profile page. There are some links there and some verbiage that can help with profile page editing. I also suggest using pre-existing pages, like mine, to get examples of wikitext for source editing.

There are 3 editing options: Visual Editor, Classic Editor and source (wikitext). I always do source editing myself and have never had a problem with it but not everyone likes wikitext.

There are 2 profiles: your Global one and your SSHM Wiki one. The Global profile is the section at the top where your name and avatar appear. If you were trying to upload the image as your avatar, it looks like you succeeded. Note, however, that an uploaded avatar doesn't appear in the Wiki image files...as near as I can figure, they can't be accessed anywhere on Wikia once your avatar change is saved.

If the picture you were referring to is different from your avatar one, then it appears your upload didn't take. If you go to your wall or profile, you will see below your Global profile as series of links that include ones for your profile page, your wall and also your contributions. If you go to your contributions page, you'll see another series of links, one of which is for viewing your uploads. This is where you would find not only a list of links of any images you had uploaded but also any videos, PDFs, etc. (though not your Global profile avatar picture). Your upload list is currently empty.

As I mentioned to someone else recently, there are a number of ways to upload an image and at least one of them I've had trouble with and can never get it to work (the Photo button in the editing screen, for example). The way I usually upload images is to go to the Special:Upload page (it's one of the links in the Contribute drop down towards the upper right of every page) and upload the image there. Occasionally, if one takes too long, like I sometimes do, the page will timeout and you might have to try it twice but I've never had the upload fail altogether.

Hopefully that helps for a start. Let me know if you need more assistance.
