I wrote this for another member when he asked about how to post a picture. Hope it helps you.
First of course you have to have some pictures of the gun in your computer. Most folks store them in your "My Pictures" file. They should be in JPEG format which is the common format for most digital cameras.
To post a picture on the forum you first have to join a place that stores photos for the web.
Photobucket is a good place and it is free. All you have to do is join it. They don't send spam and they don't sell your e-mail address to anyone either.
Next, you have to have the picture(s) uploaded from your computer.
To do this, go to your Photobucket site and log in.
In the middle of the screen is a box that says "UPLOAD IMAGES AND VIDIO".
When you click on CHOOSE FILES it will take you to a little window that represents your computer files. It will probably be showing your desktop or photo file. The area it is in is shown at the top of the window and if it isn't in the files where your pictures are stored you will have to walk it thru until you get there. Click thru your computer in this window until you get to the folder where you have saved your picture(s). Then click on the folder to open it up.
Click on the picture you want to upload to Photobucket and click the OPEN button.
Photobucket will begin uploading your picture data into itself.
When it is finished it will show you a little thumbnail picture of your picture with some lines under it.
At the bottom of the listing is a line called
IMG code which stands for Image Code. This is the right language for using on our forum.
Click on that line WITH YOUR LEFT MOUSE button and it should turn yellow and say "COPIED" meaning the text address that tells the computer where your picture was stored in photobucket was copied into your computers temporary memory.
Now, come back to the forum and start your post just like you have before. When you get to where you want to put the picture, click your right mouse button. It will open a little window.
Scroll down it to the word "Paste" and click on it like I'm doing now
It will enter a great big line of text and symbols and stuff.
That stuff tells our forum to go to photobucket and download that files data and show it.
After you've entered the pictures address and any other typing you want to do in your post your done. Just click the "add post" button and your typing and the photo will show up on everyones screen.
Hope this helps you with your picture posting.
I'm sure we all would like to see your gun.
