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.

590918482ec7e_Choosefiles.jpg.62461056216a7c4dc7f701f9e0ea9436.jpg

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 ...

590918489e3d2_Click2add.jpg.fe86858a2d44059865de1b8627a0e596.jpg

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

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
