When I attempt to view the photo gallery or post pics to it, I get a box that says I don't have permission to enter this area. How do I obtain such permission?
And when I attempt to post a pic on a thread, it asks for the pic's URL. Does this mean I have to upload to photobucket or similar site in order to post pics?

 

Okay, I tried again and managed to get two pics into an album. Still working on the thread part.

 

Try the upload feature to get post your images. I signed up on Friday or Saturday and my first post has included photos. However, it did not show up since it needs to be moderated but when you click on the photo image, you should be able to upload attachments.
