First resize the pictures to about 400 pixels wide. Then you need to put them on a web server somewhere. If you don't have any webspace already, sign up with a free image hosting service like http://www.fotopic.net/ and upload the photos to there, then right click on the image and copy the image address. Note that you must have the address of the image itself, not the web page the image is hosted on. Try putting it into the browser's address bar and see if it loads OK. Once you know the address (URL) of the image, create a new reply on the forum and place the image address between the [img]and[/img] tags to tell the site it should display the address as an image.

i love my fish tanks
i have one in the hallway as soon as you walk in the front door
it's 6foot long and the tank is 3 foot high but with the stand is 6 foot

my poor missus feeds them each day and she's 5 foot she has to stand on tip toe and reach into the lid

i also have 2 cats i love cats but these are horrid and moody things

and 2 lovely but stupid King charles spaniels

Paddy is a true ruby which if you know these dogs is worth a fortune.
but he's a rescue and he hasn't got any manly bits left if you know what i mean

but he is irish and he lives up to his name (sorry if that offends)
but he is as thick as 2 short planks. i always say if he had a brain cell he'd be dangerous lol
but he is lovely and loves to put his front legs round your neck and snuggle up to you for a cuddle

the other is a normal little girl poppy she's lovely and i want her to have pups as she's got a lovely temperament

Seven cats and an escapologist of a chinchilla...

Post by **Furrtiv** » Tue Sep 18, 2007 7:49 pm

Not unusual, but he was rather cute a couple of months ago (he's grown a lot since then);

He's called Arnie. It was supposed to be ironic because he was so small, but at the rate he's growing, it could turn out to be a very appropriate name indeed!

Marble, the second oldest, as she was when a kitten, had a facsination with technology!

And lastly, the lazy, tailless Spider;

Spider is a good name for a cat. Thanks for the smiles, furrtiv

hehe, no problem - we called him Spider because, as a kitten, he would always climb anything in sight - including guests' legs! He fell off the top of the curtains at twelve weeks of age and broke one of his back legs, and he's also been shot twice and run over once (hence being tailless), so we're hoping he's not going to use up any more of his lives too soon, as he's only eight!

cripes!!!

he deserves to take it easy after all that! he looks a cool dude

He is, he's so laid back it's unbelievable - although he doesn't like Arnie at all, he just hisses at him and grumbles, he's turning into Mr Old Git right now.

Depends on the chin in question. Some can be very unusual... To put it politely!

Kids these days... I don't know. What sort of unusual do you want, Dan? Dodo? Carrier pigeon?

A herd of wildebeest?

i know this is not a pet but over the last two days i have had a badger come out of the hedge and run or should i say waddle across the lane in frount of me,they are big annimals i guess there are some advantages to driving to work at 4 in the morning. i always see foxes and the rabbits will insist on playing russian roulette.its just that there natural defence is to zig zag it does not work when they go under the center of the car.

Hi! Ho! Y`all,
I`m still trying to post pics of my herd. At least I`ve managed to get the photos shrunken down, and put on fotopic. It`s a start, and who knows I might get them here before it snows!

I`ll still keep working on it!
