    I wanted to add some pics to my post but cannot seem to grasp how it is done. I am able to load them in my album but not to a post. What is the process? i give up.

    Easiest way is to load them to photobucket then post using the direct link.

    You should have open two instances of IE, or whatever browser you use. One is open to Photobucket.com, the other is open to your post on 3reef.

    1. Create an account at photobucket, which allows you store your digital photos online.
    2. Once you've created a post and want to insert a picture, find that picture on photobucket, mouse over it, and you'll see the option for "direct link."
    3. Right Click/Copy that direct link.
    4. Toggle back to your post on 3reef, and use the button above, with the mountain and sun; and you are presented with a dialogue box into which you paste the direct link you've copied from Photobucket.
    5. Press OK, and your photo will show up in your post.

    Good luck!! :)
