Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I wwa wondering how do you post pictures??? I can't seem to figure it out! Thanks!

There's a few steps to it, but it's pretty easy.

-Up near the top of the page click on "Photo Gallery" in the list of small text links.

-Set up a photo gallery for yourself (which is several steps on it's own)

-Upload your pictures to your gallery

-When you go to post a message in the forums you'll have a list of your pictures at the bottom of the page. Just click on one.

If you have a place on the web where you host your own pictures, just right click on the picture, select "properties" and copy the image location which usually ends in .jpg or .gif.

When you go to post in the forums you can paste the image location in the "Image URL" box.

Good luck!

Where can I put them on the web? I tried to do it the other way but my pics are too big I guess and it seems no matter how much I try to resize them I can't get it right!!! Thanks for the help though!

There's a great little free tool you can get for resizing pictures:
If you click on the link below, in the right hand column there is a link for the image resizer. If you download that, then when you want to send a picture, you go to your pictures folder, click on the picture you want, and then right-hand click and a menu will come up. Click on Resize pictures and a box comes up where you select a size (usually 'Small' is already ticked). Once 'Small' is selected just click on OK and a duplicate picture of the one you selected appears in your folder (sometimes next to your original picture and sometimes at the end) with the same title but with 'small' in parenthesis in the title. That is the picture you attach to your email. My instructions have been a little long-winded but it's actually really easy and the pictures will only take up a few kb of space on your computer and you can send and receive them much faster.

Here's the link to the software:
