I know another newbie asking for help - but can someone tell me how to add photos to my discussions? I am quite an avid photographer and have loads of images sitting on my hard drive ready to be shown to the big wide world of the internet... and I have no idea how to do it on here!
I know I can upload photos in the "photos" tab... but other than that I am lost :o(

You can add relevant photos to discussions but not to responses and comments. You will have that option too when you reach 500.
Personal photos should be added to your profile and not to discussions.
Another friend asked the same question not long ago and we helped out here:

Hope you will find that helpful.

The older Lotters need the new users just as much as you, they, need us 
New users bring a breath of fresh air to the Lot and if we can help them get into the swing of things quicker by sharing when they have doubts then we can all have fun here quicker 
I hope that has helped
and thank you for the BR

You are welcome - you have helped me out in many other discussions as well - so a best response was well deserved - the link to the previous thread certainly made things a lot clearer.
I see what you are saying it is necessary for the new users to bring new ideas and such like to the site, while the older users can help us get "up to speed" and be able to get the most out of the site as quickly as possible... I guess people are a lot more likely to stay on here if they think they are getting what they want out of it - it is not much use of they give up without asking and trying is it?

Sorry tdemex - I didn't expect to get a number of responses after the first explaining the how to and giving another thread that I could read through...
But I wasn't aware of the guidelines stating that you should wait a week or so before deciding on a best response... Thank you very much for letting me know about this one. I have been given best response almost immediately after posting on a couple of threads so I assumed it was the "done thing" I am sorry if I did wrong - but thank you for letting me know for the future... :o(

wow! that i would truly like to see... i love rainbows... havent seen one lately and its quite exciting me though.
anyways, i guess uploading quality pictures would do the tricks in adding some earnings as well. ill give you a good rating for it my friend. wow!!! you do comments back with huge amount of words which i am not that productive. but i am trying... who knows i might get the hang of it... lol!
its great and a privilege in my part to be part of your posts friend

Jhelai - thank you for popping on by... I really didn't expect this many repsonses for a plea for help on photos - I am honoured that you have all taken the time to respond to me :o) Thank you so much!
I have managed to put on two photos so far, but my connection is misbehaving itself right now so I haven't managed to add any more... I took some amazing ones yesterday of a rainbow outside my study window and I really want to get those on here as I think that they are quite stunning!
I look forward to seeing your photos too - nature is quite amazing and can produce some of the most exquisite (sp?) images....
Thanks again - I appreciate the support :o)

I managed to upload one of the rainbow ones here http://tinyurl.com/mpckm6 - I would really appreciate any comments you have on it....
Rainbows don't appear very often but they are stunning when they do!
