    OK, I'm finally trying to post some pics of my tank but it doesn't seem to be working. Can someone please walk me through the process step by step. I guess I need small words and colorful pictures to understand the process. Thanks:angry:

    Thanks for asking this question, I'm interested also. Is there a size limit on pics that can be posted?

    load them onto photobucket, there will be 4 different codes. click on the bottom code, it will say copied then go to the thread and right mouse click and hit paste. if it doesn't end up having in front and [IMG/] in back of the code then add it.

    I've noticed the only size pics it won't take is when you take them in RAW, which most camera don't have.

    let me know if you need more help

    you can use photo bucket online, or you can just use a program in your own computer to reduce the quality because you can only post pics under 98kb or so

    you need to have the url code to post them. photobucket is the only program I've found that make the code. I load them straight from my camera to photobucket. I guess it shrinks them automatically for me....

    photobucket is good except sometimes it takes forever to upload from my camera and the battery dies, then I have to redo some....especially when I load 200-300 pics at a time with their bulk loader
