Welcome to the group. I've been here since that past summer and am already a senior member. I've learned more by reading threads than driving the car.

Hi to all the newbies
To post a pic it must be hosted somewhere. I use the free space provided by my ISP but the forum does provide hosting as well. Once the pic is being hosted, you use the envelope shaped thing under the font/size/color tools. It comes up with a box for you to put the address of the pic.
There is a place to practice posting pics in the help section.

Welcome.
MrTroutJedi ... so you go fishing blindfolded ?
I was into trout big time, but now I found a local bass pond that
is TOO much fun. Still looking for that 5-6 pounder. That's about
as big as they get around here.
