    I have some pics of my tanks but have no way to submit them (OK I don't know how) Could I send them to someone via email to have them posted?

    Like mentioned, set up a free photobucket account

    www.photobucket.com

    You then upload the pics you want to photobucket, creating appropriate folders if needed.  When you upload them, you have the option to re-size if you haven't already done so, I typically size to 800x600 although some of my pics I up @ 1024x768.  You can choose files individually or use the buk uploader which is pretty slick.
    Once the photo is uploaded and you click on it, you'll see this page:

    You're looking for the code off to the lower left:
    [​IMG]
    Email and IM - for sending a link via e-mail
    Direct link for - inserting pic into post, i.e. GIRS
    HTML Code - for web design or using the HTML option in GIRS post
    IMG Code - for inserting image into other types of forums, i.e. Reef Central
    [​IMG]
    To insert into GIRS, select the picture icon
    [​IMG]
    Click "yes" to allow scripted prompts
    [​IMG]
    Then paste the copied code from "direct link" into the pop-up box
    [​IMG]
    There are other tricks but this should get you started!
    HTH!
