Hi Opopanax, as to posting pics, you need to first download them to a hosting website such as Photobucket or Imageshack (google it). Once done, get the pic's url; usually by right-clicking properties or the url info could be just below the pic. When you post, place image tags before and after the url - image tags are:

[img ]your picture url here[/ img]

Except don't put in any spaces between the characters. Check your work before posting by using the preview function. If the pic isn't showing, check your work again to make sure you've entered all your info.

Hey Badflash, you might want to consider it too, there are plenty of freebie hosting sites. Unfortunately Yahoo does not support linking to most places; I personally was not able to see your pic (even with copying and pasting).

It's hard to miss the eggs if they are there. So as to the saddle disappearing, what may have happened is that the eggs were dropped because they were not fertilized.

Posting PICs

I don't know what it takes to post a pic here. I set up a photobucket account uploaded the picture from yahoo with the same results.

This system is too difficult. I don't know how to hold my mouth to make this work. I updated the URL and no go.

Where did they go?

Opopanax-
Once the female molts she will hide, so if you have nooks & crannies you may not see them for a while.

All it takes to post a pic is just to post the right URL. It's not the system. The system works great. It's the wrong URLs that you choose that don't make it work.

Update your post with the following link between the [img] tags and see how it works wonderfully. ;)

Pic Question

How is one supposed to figure out what URL to use? The one that shows up in the address bar obviously is not the correct one. Is there a secret decoder ring I can get to figure this out?

In this case http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c70/b ... ic0004.jpg
works

http://photobucket.com/albums/c70/badfl ... ic0004.jpg doesn't. Looks like you need to edit out the "?action=view&current=" to make this work, but how would anyone know that?

WTF??
