Name not displaying profile when crediting myself

Hi, is it possible for someone to shed some light on an issue I seem to be having please. When I attempt to credit myself to a role my name is not coming up in the search box. Meaning it's not presenting my profile to choose. Any ideas why? Thanks

Do you already have other credits listed?

A name will only come up in the form if there is already a page under that name. So you should probably select the option "This is a different person not currently listed" in the form.

Sorry, one more question if thats ok. I had my contribution accepted. But my profile photo does not show up next to my name, though i uploaded one to my profile. Is there a reason for this? Thanks!

@dimitrioscofinas- Hi, For name pages on IMDb, only the name page owners can add/update images to their pages. For this, an active IMDbPro membership is required and a claimed on the name page to display photos.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I think i know what you mean. So i have added myself to a movie i was in as an actor, but i opened a profile previously and uploaded a photo. This is all present now. But when i click my profile i dont see it credited to my filmography and my name on the movie page just has a grey generic none profile photo.

Hi dimitrioscofinas To add a Image to your name page you need an to be an active IMDb Pro member: https://help.imdb.com/article/imdbpro/manage-your-imdb-page/manage-your-images/GYJLH267T2DMYJ53?ref_=helpsrall#addimage Regarding your credit, can you post the 18-digits submission reference number for the credit addition to take a look for you? You can find the submission number in your Contribution History page: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/contribution-information/contribution-history/G2BYV38VYPXM5L4F?ref_=helpart_nav_10#

@dimitrioscofinas- Thank you for posting the submission reference! I can see this credit is already live on the following page: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17377161/ Now, if you want to have more control of your page and upload your profile image, an active IMDb Pro membership and a claim on the page is needed for this. As mentioned, only the name page owners can add images to their respective pages. You can review the links we have posted above for further detail information.
