Or you can upload them directly to RS:

The best way is to upload the picture into your gallery. This way you can link the picture to any thread.
1) Resizing your picture down to around 800x600 is best,
2) Click on “Photo Gallery” link on the left hand side of the home page.

3) If you haven't created any albums yet, select "Create New Album". Give it a name and select “Save Changes”.
4) Select “Upload Photos”; you should now be on the ReefSanctuary Photos Image Upload page, Browse to find where the picture is located on your machine then click “upload”, Once it is uploaded, close the small window.
3) On the next page, enter in a Title, select Save Changes. The photo is now in your Gallery.


To link the uploaded picture in a thread;
1) Go to your gallery and click on the photo,
2) In the lower right, copy the information in the “BB Code” block.

Done!!

great advise ^ the pics have to be "hosted on a server" somewhere... to do this, you "upload" them to a host, like photobucket or RS or several others...

once loaded to a host, the pics get assigned a url (uniform resource locator, also known as web address) once you get that address you put it in a post & pics appear :)

to get the url, once a pic is loaded to a host (which is free) right click & select Copy Image URL

then paste that into a post this image syntax around it


like this


once you do it once, it's very easy

if you happen to have an iphone there a free photobucket app for it, loads pics you tank in seconds , but you can load them to photobucket in less than a minute from your pc
