    Obviously I don't know how to get the pics to show correctly. LOL At least I'm not the only one. If someone could tell me how I will update more as I go. I'm doing this off my Galaxy 3 cause I don't have a computer.

    Download tapatalk app. By far the absolute easiest way to add pics

    Downloaded the app, found the GIRS forum, but when I click on a topic it just brings up a blank screen?

    Ok I figured out you have to log in to see anything now if I can learn how to post pics correctly.

    Don't use quick reply on the site. Using website click on add reply then use the add picture icon on tool bar. Looks like a picture of a mountain, then it will bring a pop up window to paste your URL in. Change width to 480 and click OK. This is best way and I will get a guide up shortly too help all. All other ways do not work correctly all the time. If you are uploading pictures then use the attach button at bottom of reply window. Good luck

    You can't do this on mobile phone. You have to be on the Site on a computer. This site via App, but sense the last update its not working. A 3rd party software had to be written in order to get the last one to work so I don't know what the statis is on Mobile divices on here, but I would venture to say its not working correctly.





    I try from my phone and didn't get the tool bar also, but logged on into my computer and tools are there. If its not on yours then try another Browser posibly.

    I logged on and fixed your picture for you for now. But please confirm you can or can't see the tool bar when on a computer.

    Thanks

    KP thanks for fixing the pics. I got on my daughters iPad and went to the site and it's identical to my phone. I wonder if it's cause I'm on mobile devices? I'm not a computer guy so this sucks.

    Thanks Mike. Yeah I decided that unique stand wasn't going to work and I am down sizing so I might as well down size the sump too. I'm building the stand with some of the old stand incorporated into it to match the hood. Basically got rid of all the acrylic. The hood is a lot lighter without the acrylic. I'm hoping to have it done and running by Fallfest. Hopefully I'll see you and can fill you in. Oh and the stand is 40 inches tall! No more bending over to look into my tank! Lol

    That's how tall mine is. Love it!

    ONLY drawback is that to reach into it you need a step ladder, but hey it's well worth it.

    Yeah when you're 6'4" it sucks to have to bend down to look into your tank. I've learned from some mistakes with my current tank so I'm excited about this build!

    Kyle, I went on a laptop and still the same. I wish I could see what this tool bar is supposed to look like. Thanks for all your help.

    Hey Runner, yeah I don't see that on any of the devices I've been on just the attachment bar at the bottom. My iPad uses Safari my laptop uses Internet Explorer and cell phone hell I don't know but they all don't show this toolbar.
