IŽll try to explain in a few steps how you can put your pics up in the forum:

1) First of all: your pics need to be on the internet. A very suitable place to do so is www.photo.net. You have to subscribe to the site and after that you can create your own portfolio there. It is very straight forward and online help is available at the site. Ask me if you need extra information.

2) Scan your pics in JPEG format and add them to your portfolio.

3) Start a thread at the Leica forum and tell people where to find your pics. In other words: the pictures in your portfolio all have one unique internet address, a so called URL or Unique Resource Location. This URL is displayed in the Address box of your browser. For example: http://www.photo.net. If you open the porfolio on the page that contains the picture you want the forum to see, simply copy and paste this URL in a new thread.

4) You can make the URL also clickable. This means that one simple clicks on your text which actually becomes a link and the person will be transferred to the URL you designated it to be. This is very easy to do: the FAQ of the Leica forum tells you how to do so in a few steps. However, this is not necessary. People can also simply copy and paste the URL you gave them and the effect is the same. I hope this is of some help. I am very curious to see your first post!

the easiest way is to upload your pictures to photo.net (most people here also have accounts there... if you don't you might want ot make one), and then to link to the photo's using HREF's described in the FAQ for these pages:
