Have a look here and see if that helps http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Wels/BRKWelsummers.html

To post pics you need to have them uploaded to the internet, somewhere like the gallery here, photobucket, msn pictures, etc. Then you post the url here.

To post pics...

In your message area, where you write it, there are little boxes up above the typing area. There is one that says Img.

First up load your photo to a website, the easiest is having Stephen/admin create a gallery for you. Then type your message and where you want your photo to appear, click on the Img square. That will put [img] on the screen. Then right click on your photo and copy the URL address, paste it right after the [img] without spaces. Then click on the Img square again and it will put [/img] at the end of your URL address, again making sure there are no spaces.

If in doubt, click on preview instead of submit. If it looks like you want, submit it.

There is a test section towards the bottom of the forums index page where you can practice.

Good luck. Wink
