Just a quick response to your picture inquiry... from one new-user to the site to another...

You have the ability to add pictures to your own picture albums here on the site. Go to your profile, and look to the right. The downside of using this site to hold the actual pictures, tho, is that this site limits them to 600x600 resolution, and 1.92mb in size (whichever is smaller), and will auto-resize 'em if you don't. Once the pix are in, you can then link to 'em in your posts/threads, using the codes below.

If you want to place higher-res pix, I suggest signing up for a free service like imgur.com, and then use the codes they give you to link to the pix in your posts. For an example of this, go thru my entire grow log, until you see the big pix.

Depending on the thread, you can also attach files / pix, too. See the Additional Options on a Reply/Post.

Hope this helps!
