New Library Article - How to easily attach images to posts!

SKFA's forum platform has come a long way since the first unfriendly user interfaces we had. Today's forum platform is so much easier for the users to attach a picture to their posts.

Let's go through the various options you have of posting a picture or a URL to a picture.

The easiest way to attach photos is to drag your picture file to the bottom of this editing window...

Several files can be dragged into this space for upload to the SKFA server.

 

The next option for inserting pictures into your post is the "Choose Files" link.

Clicking on the choose files link will open up a windows explorer window for you to locate and select the appropriate files for upload.

 

Once all the files you want are uploaded, you will see a window with the thumbnails of your pictures like the screenshot below ...

Click on the '+' symbol to insert the picture your post. The picture will be inserted where your cursor was.

 

 

The next option for inserting pictures into your post is the "Insert other media" pull down menu.

This menu give you two other options to locate the picture you want to insert.

The "Insert existing attachment" option will open up a window, similar to the image below, of all your past pictures that were uploaded to the SKFA server. You can browse this selection of previously uploaded pictures to attach to your new post. Note: images stored on external servers like Flickr, Photobucket or Imgur will not show up on this list.

The second pull down menu is the "Insert image from URL" option. This option opens up a window where you can paste in the url of a picture or video stored externally to SKFA.

Hopefully with 4 methods of attaching pictures, you will find one that works best for you.

 

Don't forget that there is a file Total attachment limit as well for new members and members. 

New Members are able to only upload up to 1MB of pictures/videos.

While Members are able to upload up to a total of 10MB of pictures/videos.

These quota limits are removed once you become a subscription member level of Premium, Platinum or Diamond levels. 

The membership fees goes towards a good cause - the smooth running of this forum.

Easiest way to attach photos is to click on the "More Reply Options" button on the bottom right of this editing window...

You get a more advanced editing screen that will allow you to "Attach Files".

Select the file you want to upload, let it complete the upload, then click "add to post".

Don't forget that there is a file limit as well.

It's a generous 5Mb.

Buutttttt I'm not sure if regular members (non premium members) have a lower limit.

 

 

You could also use an external photo hosting site like Photobucket, you just need to copy the "img" link address and paste it into this editing window.

They are called "moss ledges" a friend of mine makes them out of stainless mesh and suction cups... You can also achieve the same thing with cholla wood and a air line holder

      Time for another update! The PH this morning is 6 and KH 0-1 (you can't measure zero obviously). I plan to check everything tomorrow and then a water change on satuday. At the moment the TDS is 190 which should drop to 170 after a water change and then 150ish after the following/next weeks water change. Last time I checked GH it was 6, but again I will do ALL the tests tomorrow. I had to resort to using a PH/KH- product (AQUACID) to get to where these parameters are now but as the water I use has PH6, GH0 and KH0 I assume/hope I won't need to use that from here on, but will see if the parameters stay stable for the next week and have a PH alert disc in the tank which should indicate any significant change. I don't like using these sort of products as a general rule and wouldn't if there were any shrimps in situ and that product has raised the TDS at about .5TDS per drop. I may well order some blue bolts towards the end of next week (the road to the house will be closed for a month from 3rd June so it is next week or wait another 6 weeks) and see how that goes. I plan to drip acclimate them overnight this time so as to not rush that as it shouldn't get cold indoors overnight anyway this time of year. This all depends on the tank parameters staying stable for the next week (aside from the mentioned TDS adjustments with the water changes), though the GH  may drop a tiny bit with using just RO to reduce the TDS but that is fine, and even could be a bonus. I did manage to find some nice floating plant that I had before (good old ebay), and will try and get a photo of that at some point to attach, Azolla red I think it is called? Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed for now but all appears to be going well at this point! Snails seem to be doing well at least.

      That shrimp itself survived the molt just fine, but left about half dozen eggs still in the shell. I haven't measured KH in a really long time, but assume it is zero since I don't have any rocks besides a few small pieces of lava rock.  Maybe you have unwanted rocks in your tank?  My tank is the "long" style which I really like because I have a HMF on one end, and a pump outlet spout that shoots water all the way to the other end.  I have no idea how many shimp it can support because I don't really understand waste management in a tank.  Shrimp poop eventually turns into mulm, but then what?

      Thats a great photo, beautiful blue bolt, I hope it survived the molt without dropping the eggs! I think I can just about see some black dots (eyes) on the central egg but can't be 100% sure. I used to (and plan to again) do weekly water change of 10-15% but if you do too large or quick (not drip in new water) that would likely trigger a molt. What KH are they in, my new setup is sitting at (and refusing to budge) KH 3 and PH 7.5 so I may have to settle for neocaridina shrimp this time as opposed to the caridina I want, though not looking/deciding just yet, give the tank a bit more of a run in! Tap water here starts at kH 14, tds 320, when filtered goes to KH 0 and PH 6 but when put in the tank keeps going to KH3 and PH 7.5 despite 3 x 50% water changes???? You may be at 'maximum capacity' with only 20L tank especially if the tank is a cube type rather than shallow type?
