To go to the album, you go to the home page of this tribe and click on the avatar or the pictures below the avatar which opens the tribe album, and then click on "upload a photo". Works the same way like the album on your profile. Thanks.

If you know how - it's not hard - add the Arabic language to your keyboard. It's actually already in your windows system, you just need to enable it. If I remember correctly you go to control panel, regional/language, then click on langauge - details, and you can add Arabic. Then all you have to do is to switch to that language and press the J key. The letter is the "ta" in Arabic. Looks like a happy face. but if that's too much... how do I add to the album? which album?

Could you possibly enlarge that and post it as a picture in the album, so I can copy it for my emails?

So it is رقس شرقي The word raqs (with an aleph/long 'a') means dancer.
