Rob,
There are a number of ways to post pictures to this forum. You have found one way, where you upload your images to the Reef Central server to host your pictures. Another way is to upload your images to an image hosting site like Flickr or PhotoBucket and then link them back into this forum.
What I did was half and half: I used your image hosted on Reef Central and then linked it into my post on your thread.
For any of your existing images that are already on the RC server that appear as thumbnail images in your posts on this thread:
1). Right-click on the image. Open up the image in a separate browser tab or window at full size.
2). In FireFox, right-click on the full image to get the image menu in your browser. Select Copy Image Location. In Internet Explorer you would right-click on the image and select Properties, then highlight the URL and press Ctrl-c to Copy the URL.
3). Back here on your thread, click on Post Reply to create a new post.
4). Above the Message Editor window you will see a yellow Insert Image icon with a picture of a couple of mountains in it. Click on the Insert Image icon. A box will pop up asking you to enter the URL of the image. Ctrl-v to paste in the image location you copied from Step 2 above.
5). Click on Preview Post at the bottom of the Message Editor window to be sure you can see your image in your post before you press Submit Post to post it to your thread.
Hope that helps. Let me know if I've made it worse or better for you.
