Hi,How can I upload photos?

Hi massimiliano 72,

For what purpose? To show pictures of your fish in the "My Fish" area, to add to a species description page (CLOG page), or to post in a forum thread?

Cheers, Eric

Hello Eric , I wanted to put a picture of my aquarium with fish eremophlius mutisii

Hi massimiliano 72,

Depending on what you mean, that's possibly the one scenario I didn't list above! LOL

If you wish to add a single photo of your aquarium, you can do so by first adding your aquarium to your profile. Once the aquarium is added, you can upload a photo of your aquarium. Here's how to do this:

1. Click on the "My Aquaria" link in the upper left area of the page. (photo 1)
2. In the "Add An Aquarium" field, type in any name that you want to use to describe this aquarium, then press the "Add Aquaria" button to save this entry. (photo 2)
3. Once you have saved this entry, you can add your photo using the "No image stored, add one here." link that will be visible below the name of your aquarium. (photo 3)

After you've added this aquarium to your profile, you can also add additional information about your aquarium, such as decorations, filtration, etc.

On the other hand, if you'd like to show off several photos of your tank and also some photos of your fish at the same time, then go to the "Tank Talk" discussion forum and start a new topic. Name the topic whatever you want (such as "My tank"), then tell us anything you want to share. When you're finished typing, click the "Attachments" tab underneath the topic editing window and click the "Add files" link to attach your photos to your post. (photo 4)

One warning: When you attach images to a forum post, the attachments will appear in the reverse order to which you originally attached them. For example, as I'm typing this post, I'm going to attach photo #4 first, then #3, #2, and finally #1, so that when you see this post, the photos appear in the right order.

Cheers, Eric

The other thing you can do is add your fish to your profile. This is easy to do: For example, for your ,

1. Click on the CLOG link that I provided you in the above sentence (by the way, "CLOG" is an abbreviation for "Cat-eLOG," the pages on this website where you find all the species descriptions).
2. On the CLOG page, to the right of the species name, you will see a link "Add to My Cats" (photo #1). Click that link and the website will automatically add this fish species to your profile. Once you've added the fish, you will be redirected to a page which acknowledges that you added the fish, and you will see a link called "view or edit your new species page" (photo #2).
3. Click this "view or edit your new species page" link and you will be taken to a page that shows the PlanetCatfish photo of this fish, and there will be a link underneath it for you to upload a single photo of your fish, for people to see when they look at your profile (photo #3).

Cheers, Eric

P.S. If you chose to add your aquaria and your cats to your profile using the steps described above, then whenever people see your posts in the forum, they will see a little information under your name with links, so that they can view all of your fish and all of your aquaria (if you don't want these to be visible, you can hide these using some settings in the User Control Panel).

Thanks
