Hi Dustin and Welcome to Reef Central!!

You can upload pictures on www.photobucket.com (doesn't cost anything). When you get them there, look for the [img] code, click to highlight, then right click your mouse, select copy, then come back here and paste into the body of your post.

Also you have a place here (on RC) to store some photo's, called "Gallery" it's located at the top of your post.

Hey thanks so much, I guess I was spoiled on my last fourm just had to drag-n-drop lol. I was wanting to set up a photobucket to keep track of all my photos so I guess this works out then. Thanks again!

You're very welcome! Hoping to see some pix soon.

Test... 26 bowfront

AtlReef · #6 10/02/2007, 02:05 AM

Well I uploaded to Photobucket then copy pasted in the attach file column. Then click submit reply and it does nothing I hit it 100 times lol and doesnt even try to load. hhmmmm. Then I deleted the img out of the attach file column and hit submit and it posts. What did I do wrong?

Sorry, didn't mean to leave you hanging, was doing some school research on another board.

Darn, I can't find the tutorial they had stickied once upon a time. ggrrr. It was a good one.... .

First did you use "Browse" to find the pics your computer that you wanted to use from your computer? After your picture has been uploaded to photobucket. Look under the picture(s). You'll see four boxes.

First will be: email & IM
Second: direct link
Third: Html link
Fourth: IMG code.

Choose [img] code tag. Click on it to highlight. Next, using the mouse, right click on the link. Hit Copy, come back here, right click in your post, rigt click again, click paste and it should in the body of your message.

Test:I'm gonna try mine for a second to see if anything is wrong.

AtlReef · #8 10/02/2007, 12:42 PM

Yeah I did all that but I didnt hit the browse button. I just had my photoshop up and copy and pasted. Let me try again..

AtlReef · #9 10/02/2007, 12:44 PM

Still no luck def. something I not doing right. When the browse box has the IMG link in it, and I hit submit, it does nothing. I can just hit the buttom over and over again it doesnt even try to load a page. hmm.. anyone got any ideas.

Great thanks Dave!

Looks good!

I would just add a solid black or blue background. Also, trim back those GSP before they take over every inch of your tank.

Yeah thanks, I did. When I put all the livestock into the new tank I painted it. Looks 100 times better.
