Yay! The tank buster guys are back!

Make sure to get a thick acrylic, from my understanding it can get 'wet' and start to become floppy/warped

Hello All,

In the classifieds your are requested to send PMs to people and NOT reply to any advert.

The reply function is for the advertiser, for 'bumping' as per the classifieds guildlines

So here is a quick guide on 'How to Send a PM' to an advertiser.

SENDING PM AFTER SEEING AN ADVERT

1) You've found a fish you want to buy > Click on it and go to the post.

2) Move you mouse down and click on 'Send PM' (the circled red item) do not click reply, I crossed off the reply to show you where that is.

3) Fill in the message to the person. Yes, you can even add photos and embed them too! if you want

4) Click 'Send Message' and wait for the super fast reply.

SENDING A MESSAGE TO ANYONE

If you see anyones forum name you can usally click on it to send quick messages to them.

1) Click on the persons name.

2) Click on Send me a message

3) Compose the message.

4) Click send.

Thanks shep for the use of your topic in reference to this guide. I hope you sell your Royal Whiptails.

A future topic to note is, I will show you 'How to setup Send Notifications to an email' so you know when you get PM back from an advertiser.

Regards,

MrLeifBeaver

can't wait for the "how to make a how to make a how to guide"

Brilliant! Let me finish the others first then I will do that.

I decided not to go into the semantics of why we don't want replies and just tried to keep it to the PM bit only

Hello Guys,

I was asked to do a guide on 'How to use the PM button' as there can be some confusion on it.

This is mainly with reference to people using the 'Reply' on classified adds and not sending a PM instead.

Yes, I have been reprimanded for doing it too

There are two ways I can see for sending a PM (Personal Message)

FIRST WAY

1) You've found a fish you want to buy > Go to the post

2) Click on 'Send PM' (the circled item) do not click reply as this puts a post up under that topic (I crossed off the reply to show you where that is).

3) Fill in the message to the person - yes, you can even add photos and embed them too! if you want

4) Click 'Send Message' and wait for the super fast reply.

SECOND WAY

If you see anyones forum name you can usally click on it to send quick messages to them.

1) Click on the persons name

2) Click on Send me a message

3) Compose the message

4) Click send

Thanks shep for the use of your topic in reference to this guide .

I hope you sell your Royal Whiptails.

Regards,

MrLeifBeaver

P.S. Future topic coming; How to setup 'Send notifications to email' so you know when you get reply to a PM you sent.

I want a badge....

Bigjohns can be "Conspirist" or however that is spelt

Lol. Danyonn sits on the fence by getting 40kgs, nice one.

Which PCS member did you dispatch for the skull?

Hey Guys,

As I have been reading other peoples threads I realise that not all of you might know how to properly embed images in your comment/thread section.

Thus you are forced to have little thumbnail links all over your topic.

I also wanted to do this to give the people in the Aquascaping Competition a chance to make their topic even more impressive.

Note: This is the way I do it and there might actaully be a simpler way.

1) Attach a photo and upload it as usaul.

2) Yes, you still need to attach the photo to the post as usaul.

3) You will notice this is how the 'attachments' appear.
              

4) Once you are happy with all the images, you click 'Post New Topic' or 'Post Comment'

5) This is how your topic will look.

6) This is where it starts getting a little complicated. Basically you need to finding the physical image location on PCS (the image you want to embed). Click on the thumbnail and view the large version.

7) Then I open up the 'Inspect Element Function' on Mozzilla Firefox. Right Click on the Large Image > Click Inspect Element (Q).

8) Copy the link location and then edit your topic and embed the link as an image. See red circled areas.

9) press OK. Upon pressing it the full image will come up and not just a thumbnail.

10) Rinse and repeat.

Now you know what to do. Hopefully you can have a sexy looking Topics/Posts too.

I hope this helps and is not to confusing. Post any comments or tips below and I will edit appropiately.

This is pretty cool!

Any fish shop will take it due to their "Don't dump that fish policy".

Thanks for becoming a sponsor I will certainly be getting some prime soon due to all the comments in one of my topics I brought up.

Ok I will def be coming to this. Ronny can you fly over please too?

I have been thinking about doing a new scape and entering it into the Aquascape contest (instead of Discus).

But that means selling my georgeous little Clowns and my Shrimp.

I bought a secondhand chiller recently ($150) and am thinking about doing a cold water Nano Tank - Coral Bay inspired - Humbugs and certain coral that you get there.

Coral Bay was what inpired me to get my Nano in the first place too.

I need to do my research before I commit to anything.

And the chiller (bigger than the tank) is huge so I am trying to think how I store it (Going to have to get a cupboard or somthing).
