to answer your last question first: you have to write 3 critiques before you can upload your own material.

further: if you use the "quote" function to any post, you can see how a post was originally constructed, as all pictures and links show up in text, not in "WYSIWYG" (what you see is what you get).

and I saw you posted a question about how to rate songs in someone's song thread - well: I already told you about the 5 blue stars next to the Subject text field of the Reply form.

Also, you could join the chat and ask any member with specific questions (when there's someone online) just press the "chat" tab in the navigation bar!

good luck!
