Hi Waterlilly,
Sorry not to have replied sooner, but had a lot of work on last week and lots of reports to send e-mail so never got round to WAB
Right, Uploading pics, I'll deal with Image library first,
In Forums click onGallery, go to r/hand corner just below Search, Click on Upload Photos, you have two options, Immage library (blue) or
Gallery (green) if you need help id'ing say a wasp, Go to the dropdown on Members
Gallery ,click on appropriate heading , ten click on Browse, Go to your photos click on the photo you want Identified, letters and numbers will appear next to the browse button, now enter a default title "Unknown Wasp" Then the description ie; found on rose bush in garden, Then click on "Upload" it might take a little while for it to do this depending on how many people are trying to upload stuff, Then "Submit" Watch the bottom right hand corner of the screen to follow progress ten, when your pic comes up go t the bottom of the photo where you will see letters and numbers in the first long window , right click on the window it will turn blue , right click on it and click copy,
Go t forums and choose the relevant category write your little bit asking for help in identification drop down twice on the enter button then Paste, your photo is now in your thread ,
Hope this helps with that little bit ,
When your photo has been identified then you can go to edit your pic which is in a group of symbols under the pic , if you cover each symbol with the cursor it will tell you which one, then you edit the pic giving its common name hyphen then latin name using an upper case for the first letter of the first word and a lower case letter for the second word,
Example; Red Billed Streamer Tail - Trochilus polytmus
I,m off to Scotland on the train to-morrow so when I get Back I'll run through the
Gallery Pic procedure with you
Have a go at it and let me know how you get on,
Best wishes
Duncan
ps; all the pics that you upload to the "
Gallery" are automatically put into your profile folder
