Posting pics in the forums.

Hey I'm an idiot when it comes to this computer stuff! If someone could tell me what I have to do to post a pic I would greatly appreciate it. I was going to put an image in the triggerfish forum but I have no idea what to do. (Wizard of Oz music playing in the background "If I only had a brain!"
Thanks in advance!

As far as I know (I'm not so good at this either!) your pic has to already be hosted on the web, and not just stored in your computer. You just type in the link (if it's on a different web site) below, or if it's in the Gallery, use the drop-down option at the bottom of the posting page.

If you haven't started your own Aquarium Hobbyist gallery, you should consider it. It's nice to share pics that way, and it's free. Another free photo site is photobucket.com. Hope that helps!

If you have need of further help, this was taken from the F.A.Q.

Q. How do we add photos to our messages?

A. It is done the same way as on the old forums, and there are three options to adding a photo:

Upload a photo elsewhere on the Internet and type the URL at the bottom of the message you want to add in the 'Image URL' block.
You can use our variation of HMTL code in the body of the message to add a photo you have uploaded elsewhere. See the "Tools and Toys" link for instructions.
Upload a photo to the photo gallery and select it from a drop down menu of the photos you have in the gallery. This is the best option since a lot of sites will block you from using your photos elsewhere.
