How to retrieve the url address, for a image or an animated gif you want to use.

First left click on the image you have chosen. The image or animation should appear in another window. If so
Right click on the image and select properties. A box should appear with some info about it. See example below.
Highlight the url address then right click and Copy
Go to your post then click the insert image box. Another box will appear with http:// in it. Delete the http:// then Paste. Click ok.
Job done.

N.B. Only if the animated gif is actually moving in the thumbnail box can you right click directly on the thumbnail and follow steps 2,3,4. Otherwise the animation will not work. Also if an image doesnt open in a new window you can right click directly on the thumbnail and follow steps 2,3,4.

Example:

Before you enter the url address into this box delete the "Http://" otherwise you will have two of them and it wont work.

What is Karma

Karma is like a user rating type system.
Everyone can make a change to everyone else’s karma.

Just click on the

at the top right hand side of a post that you think deserves positive or negative karma.

There are many things that affect the amount of karma you can give out, like strict time limits and various other rules.

You need to have over 100 posts before you can alter someone’s karma.
The more karma/posts/experience you have the more karma you can change.

You have to spread your karma around and so you must issue karma to at least 10 other people before you can get the same person again.

You can add comments while adding or removing Karma and the recipient will be able to see them in their User control panel but please do not abuse.
Members with less than 100 posts you'll only be able to make comments and not alter anyone's karma.

Also from the User cp you will find links to the posts that members have added or removed Karma from. It shows the last 5 karma mods done to you.

Make good posts in the forum and get it higher, make bad posts and get it lower. It is totally user controlled.

How to upload images to the Gallery Albums:

Go to the album you wish to upload too and click the upload Photos button. (See above)

Click one of the browse buttons (see below) and go select you image from your pc.
Give your image a title and perhaps a description.

Finally, scroll down and click Upload/Submit.

Tip:
To save yourself time uploading your image/ images to the gallery, and it doesn’t matter if you can not then before uploading, resize your image to an image width of about 800 pixels or a file size of 150kb. It’s just that, really large images ‘in Mega sizes’ may take a while uploading and at the end of the day the gallery software will automatically resize/ downsize the image to 800pixel. So if you can do it yourself before hand then you’ll save yourself some time.
