Try [[image:imagename.jpg]] This should show, even if the thumbnail is not working correctly. If that works, but [[image:imagename.jpg|300px]] does not, then it is an issue with the thumbnail graphics generator.
Make sure that the wiki database knows where the image is. In the search box put "file:imagename.jpg" If the wiki finds them, then it is indexed in the database. If it is not found you may need to use the "image upload" link from the left side of the main page.

I uploaded the images using FTP. How do I do Special:Upload?
On the navigation box, I am wondering why the pages do not exist. Especially the help pages.
Thanks, Gary

I can not figure out how to get images to appear in an edited page. According to the edit instructions, entering [[File:example.jpg|center|100px|caption]] should work, but I get just the word caption as a link to example.jpg. I do not want a link, I want the actual image to display. Is there a switch that needs to be set for this? The image is in the images directory.
You uploaded the image through Special:Upload, right? It sounds like you don't have the right renderer installed/enabled. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_Administration#Image_thumbnailing
Second problem is that in the navigation box only the Main selection works. Are there switches for the other items, especially for Help?
I don't understand the question. Do you want to remove the other items, or do you want to change them, or are you wondering why they link to pages that don't exist?
