pics on posts

i am not a computer savy guy. Is it hard to put up a pic on a post? If not how? I want to show off my EDC set up

I've only recently been enlightened and learned how to do it. I used to just post the postage stamp pics that are hard to see. That's pretty easy to do.
I opened a photo bucket account and download the pictures to that. Then you can size them. From the menu on each picture you can copy img. Then it's just a matter of pasting it in your post. It mostly took me a while to figure out how to work photobucket. I think there's other similar sites too but I've not used any others.

Took me a long time and several guys way smarter than me to figure it out but it's really not difficult. Old Lincoln is real good at it. MW Surveyor, GB, lots of guys here to help ya.

Yeah. Go to Photobucket and open an account. You can create sub-albums to organize your pictures. Click on the "Upload now" button, locate the pictures you want to upload from your computer, or from the Web, tell it what album to load it to, use Ctrl-click to select multiple pictures to upload, save and go look at and work with your pictures.

To put a picture in your post, simply move the cursor over the picture and a menu appears. Click in the IMG code field and it says "copied." Go to your post, position the cursor where you want the picture to appear, and do Ctrl-v to paste the IMG code there. If you want to se how it will look before you submit your post, hit the "Preview Post" button. Then, if everything looks OK, :Submit Reply."

I hope this helps.

Easiest is to use 1024x768 setting on your camera when you take them... makes eveything easier... Then load 'em up to Photobucket (free)... (This how I do it then...) When they're displayed there, there's a blue bar beneath each pic that reads "Share/Edit/Delete/Move"... Click on "Share" ... Then click on "Get Link Code"... Then go down to "IMG for Bulletin Boards and Forums"... Put your cursor on the far left of the "Full Size" [IMG]etc. code... hold your left mouse key down while moving right to capture the whole line of code... (It'll be outlined in blue then)... Then right click... then left click on "copy"... So now your mouse is "holding" that code... You then come to the forum where you want to place the pic, right click and choose "paste"... That'll put the code in the box... When you "Post" your message the pic will appear there. Just like anything else, after you do it a couple of times it's not as complicated as it sounds.

Thats just a sweet heart ain't it. Bet ya never get tired of looking at that. Imagine how sweet that thing would be with some nice wood handles. Already a head turner but with wood I think we'd see a few broken necks.

Your pic-posting method description looks easier than mine... Anyhow, they'll give Knkali enough to work with to get 'er done I guess... As usual, more than one way to ...

Yeah, when I win the lottery, then I can get a K9 and/or a MK9 and see about getting some polishing done. Or get the Elite models and forget about it. I have priced professional polishing jobs, and I am so thankful I was able to get this gun at the price I did.

It really broke me last month to make the purchase, so I've had to wait until this week to get another SSDI check and start accessorizing. You know, ammo, extra mags, cleaning kit, earmuffs, so I can get to the range and start breaking this baby in. It was well cleaned and oiled by the original owner, so I might not break it down before my first range session. It is SO-O-O tight! I am going to enlist my brother's aid in racking the slide 500 times. I have loaded it with some ball ammo, though, and it loaded that first round in such a slick and positive manner! I'll bet all of the polishing has already helped to insure flawless performance. We'll see.

Yeah. It works for me. I used to work in the computer lab in college, and I taught computer literacy, so I know how to explain things simply and clearly.
