How to Start a Thread and Post Pictures

[Wikidbchofthewst]

I'm making this post after reading a "how do I start a new thread?" question for the millionth time. I kinda meant it as a joke, but who knows, maybe it'll help someone.

Ok, so, starting at the RIU homepage....

Pick the forum that your thread should go in. We're picking Newbie Central.



Click the New Thread button at the top left.



Screw it, while I'm at it I'll cover how to post pics, lol. Either click the Manage Attachments button, or if you have the photos on the web like photobucket, just post the link between the "

" tags in your post. These pics will show up IN the post, like the example pics I'm using.


When you click the Manage Attachments button, a new window like this should come up. You can either upload the pics from your computer, or you can upload them from a URL. These pics will appear as thumbnails at the buttom of your post that people can click on to enlarge.

Once you're done you can Preview Post to make sure it looks right. Then Submit New Thread and let's smoke!

You are not alone atom, I posted her instruction again in the new member thread, next newbie was a new page, he posted four times in like 20 minutes, his last post asked how to make a thread. I think this is the most commonly asked question. VV

To quote someones post you just click on quote the little box on the right hand side bottom of the post.

To place quote marks around something else you have to be in the advanced mode, then you highlight it an click on the little comic dialog box fourth from the right top of the text box.

Preview your post, you will see how it looks. VV

[Wikidbchofthewst]

Go to MyRollitup, and on the left side of the screen is Your Control Panel. Under Settings & Options, click Edit Signature. Then just paste the link you want

 

[onthedl0008]

Yup it works just like that lmao.

 

[onthedl0008]

LOL looks like im the only one that uses this thread, Its been quite helpfull for a 2 finger typer like me..... So i had another question what are the boxes with the + sign below the gallery but above the points level.....?

 

[Blow4Life]

You guys got this info underrated! I been dying to know this, now all I need is what type of camera to use. I want those close ups of my trich's and everything else. What about lights in the grow room, should they be turned off when taking pics?

You guys are about to see a monster grow room. As a matter of fact, thats what I'm going to call it. I'll start it tonight. I'm about to go take some pics right now. While I'm gone, I hope somebody helps me with this camera thing. Thanks!

That is your rep. If you hover above it with your mouse it says something. If you hover above them on MINE it says something different.

Go to MyRollitup, and scroll all the way down. The very last section is called Latest Reputation Received, it shows you the last 10 reps you've gotten. You can either get +rep and your rep will go up, or you can get -rep and it'll go down. There's a place for them to leave a comment, and if you click the link next to the comment it'll take you right to the post they repped you for.

The way YOU rep is by clicking on the silver scales in the top right hand corner of someone's post. You choose whether or not you approve or disapprove, make your comment, and then be sure to sign it so people know who repped them.

Well, obviously the better the camera the better the pics will be. But if you want to know how people get those crazy close up shots of the trichs, it's simple, get a magnifying glass. Most people just take pics looking through the magnifier and viola!
