As a member of the forum you may insert images into your posted messages. To do this you need to do two things:
1. Insert into the text of your message something like:
[img]http://www.satsig.net/ssllogo.gif[/img]
[img]http://www.example.com/images/vsat-satellite-dish.jpg[/img]
[img]http://www.europesatellite.com/pictures/vsat-dish.jpg[/img]
2. Upload your image file, called for example, satellite-dish-image.jpg to a server. This may be done by email attachment sent to me: eric@satsig.net and I will put it on the satsig server. Alternatively, it is possible to use 3rd party servers such as http://farm3.static.flickr.com In this case I may copy the images to the satsig site and amend the links to make it more reliable and faster for the long term.
I may save your images using highly compressed gif format (reduced colour palette range 2 to 128 colours) or jpg format with reduced images size (pixel dimensions) or lower jpg quality. This eliminates an extra DNS look up and speeds up page loading. Small image file sizes are important for the satsig web site as many visitors are on slow connections.
