jolliolli Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 you need to host them on another site like www.photobucket.com, from there you can upload them using the img tags. ie once hosted use the . if using photobucket make sure you use the direct link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stella Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I need some help with posting photos in the member's tanks area. It mentions doing attachments and a certain amount of space allowed, but I am not quite sure how to do more than one attachment. I have my photos stored on Picasa but the first time I put a photo in a message it worked intermittently. Do you know if Picasa does actually work with this site? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks everybody I will do my homework and see what I come up with. Mal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Jolliolli: I think you post then the moderator approves it. I am trying to figure out how you attach the pics before you post it for approval. Where are the moderators anyway, I thought they were omnipresent? Mark: Thanks, the mudfish thing is happening... slowly. I have a tank now, which is half set up, just awaiting customs to clear the traps so we can get going. I saw my first mudfish a fortnight ago!! Ok so it was already in captivity at massey, but it was a live mudfish. Looks disturbingly like the photos.... The peat substrate is coming along nicely. Just need more wood and *fish*!!

Caryl Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 In the tank section you just submit a post as usual, complete with pics, and one of the admins will approve it and allow it to appear 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 But then again.... you "could" do it the easy way and :Read The Instructions: given at the head of that section. Seems quite clear what needs to be done... and not in the least complicated. http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/freshw ... -vf29.html Same old story... Something is made simple and available to members... but they make it complicated by not reading how things work Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stella Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Well I have tried. I sat there and started organising a nice post to the members tanks section. I used the 'add an attachment' part to add a photo, assuming it would let me add another one once that was uploaded. It didn't. Seems you can only upload one photo that way. As said before I have tried the normal way using an external link in a normal post, but my photo would sometimes be there and sometimes be a broken link, then back again. I have tried asking (several times now) if there is something about Picasa that means I can't link with here, but the mods haven't answered. For people not used to the forums there is a lot to learn and a huge body of ever-changing rules to get used to. I hope Mal, the original poster, is not put off posting now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I cant understand why people use anything other than photobucket. Photobucket is SO EASY to use, and you quite literaly use one mouse click to copy the link, and then press ctrl v and there is your pic.

Stella Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I had a photobucket album but I found it awkward and ugly. I just went back and looked at my old one and there was a horrid flashing ad distracting me I find Picasa easier and better looking, and I can put big long captions with each photo. To be honest I didn't explore photobucket much before I got picasa, but that is because I didn't like it much. Useful 'holding pen' but I wanted more Though Picasa doesn't do video yet.
