Greeting again, David:> So what should I do, then? Send my review plus attached pics to you via

Yes to the latter. Please see below.

The way DCForum works is if you place the URL to the image in your message, the image will appear when previewed or read (if posted). By sending us your pictures first, we'll upload them to our server, then provide the URL so you can "link" to the images when you post your message.

No worries. There's a learning curve to everything.

The message board does have a help file (the Help icon), but it only covers the most basic functions. While we don't have a comprehensive help file that covers everything, the good news is there's very little you can break, so just click away and see what the feature does if you don't understand it. However, to answer your question about the Alert link, it's basically a link to send the sysop of the Forum an email alerting them of a message they should look at. The idea here is to help the sysops manage bad messages or offensive content.
Hope this helps, and as always, if you have questions, please feel free to ask them. However, if they're questions about VPC features and functions, you'd probably be better served if you posted them in the VPC Tech Forum.
Happy New Year!
