You will need to give very very simple guidance which I will then print off and try and follow.

You are right in that I have had no response to my uploads but dare I say I have ventured an inexpert opinion on a fly that was posted after my postings.

Many thanks for any hel you can give.
Brian.
No problem Brian. (Things are only easy if you know how to do them ).

Right - here's what you need to do: -

1 - From WAB's main Forums index page, click onto the Insect & Invertebrates Forum.
2 - Start a new thread by clicking on the light blue "New Thread" tab, which is located at the bottom of the listings.
3 - At this point, a small window will open, and you can type in a title (for example Insect Identification Help Please), along with any text you want to write in the main message box.
4 - At the right of the message box, you will see a light blue link which says "Image Library", you click on this link, and another little window will open, showing thumnail pics of your uploaded photos. (Only your photos will be displayed here).
5 - For each image you want to insert into your new thread, just click on the thumbnail picture, and you will see that the code for that picture is immediately transferred into your new message.
6 - Once you have the image codes in your message, you can position your curser adjacent or between or wherever you want, in order to write some info or ask questions about each pic.
7 - Once you are satisfied with your message just click on the "Preview Post" tab, located below the message box, and you will be able to see what your post looks like before you actually submit it.
8 - If you need to make any changes, just go back into the message box and retype as required. (and then click preview post again if you so wish).
9 - When you are happy with what you see, just click on "Submit New Thread" tab, again below the message box, and your message including photos will be uploaded onto the forum.

You can then return to the forum whenever you want, and check on any responses to your questions.

Give it a go and see how you get on.
Regards,
Mike.
