Uploading images to saltwater masters is very easy, and I'm going to show you how!

The first step is to activate your gallery account if you haven't already. You can do by clicking on the Gallery link at the top of the forum (right click and open in new tab if you want to keep this tutorial open!).

You will need to click on the link "Start Uploading" in the top right corner to activate your gallery account.

You will then be redirected to your empty gallery page.

You can organize your photos into folders if you choose. You can click the New Folder button to create one, or just upload straight into your main gallery. If you click the Upload! button you will be given the following prompt:

To upload a single image click "Choose File", you will then be given a prompt to select an image off your computer. Click on the image you want to upload and choose "Open". The file will then be uploaded and give you the option to name and describe the image. Once finished you can view the image in your gallery, post the image to the forum, or post it to an outside website or forum.

If you want to upload multiple images choose the "Multi-upload" button. This will take you to the following page:

Press the select button and you will be prompted to choose your images. You can select multiple images by dragging a box around them or by ctrl+clicking multiple images. Once you have chosen your images you can click on the "Open" button and then the "Start Upload" button.

If your images are large it may take a while to upload, the page will show the progress of each image though. Once finished uploading click either the "Edit information of uploaded images" button if you would like to label the images or "Continue without editting" button if not.

Once uploaded the images will be publicly viewable on the gallery in your folder. You can click on any image to get a link to post on the forum.

From the forum itself you can upload or choose images to post using the button highlighted below:

This button opens up pop-up mini-gallery where you can upload images or choose which ones to add to your post right from the forum! When you find an image you want to add to your post, just click it and then click the button "Add to post", it will automatically insert the forum code into your forum post!
