posting pictures

I have been trying for 2 days to upload pictures to this site.How is it done?

Have you set up an account on photobucket.com? If not, you first need to set up an account--which is free. Then you have to upload your pictures onto photobucket.com from the hard drive on your computer. Once you've done this you will have thumbnail pictures in your photobucket account. To post a pic on this website or other websites move your curser arrow over the top of one of these thumbnails, doing so three lines of verbage appears below your thumbnail pic: Email & IM, HTML Code and IMG Code, then left click on IMG Code, doing so the word "copied" will briefly appear, when it does go to the thread you'd like to post the image in and left click on "post a reply". In the body of the box where you're posting your reply type whatever you'd like to say in terms of a description, then hit "enter" twice on your computer's keyboard, this will get you down two lines, then right click your mouse, a pop up box will appear, then left click "paste" and voila a code will appear. Then scroll down and left click "preview" and you will see your image. If everything looks copasetic left click submit and you have posted successfully. (If you want to attach multiple pics in one post it makes it easier to have both sites, photobucket.com and the site you're posting in open at the same time.)

I might suggest you print this to refer to these instructions until you become familiar with the process. Once you get it, your enjoyment and the enjoyment of others of these forums will grow exponentially---a win/win for everyone!

This generic method works for 99% of the bulletin boards I post on, including this one. Only for the other 1% do I have to bother to learn something different.

Got to Photobucket and register for a free account.
Upload you pics to Photobucket.
You need to have 2 windows open at thew same time....your Photobucket album and the message window where you want to post.
Put your mouse over the pic you want and a menu opens up beneath it, like this....



left click on the bottom tab (IMG code) and the text in the tab will momentarily say "copied"

Now come to your message window, right click, and select "paste"

and you'll see something like this in your message...



then submit.

If you can take pictures and post messages on a bulletin board, you can post pics, simple as that.

T
hanks to all for your help. I was successful in posting my pictures. Hope you enjoy them. I am going to look at an early A grade 12 ga tommorrow, but I much prefer the latter style of my 16 ga.Thanks again

Just a couple of questions, maybe more. #1, what is a hard drive? #2, are those #5 20 gauges original or late production? #3, who stocked that great gun in your picture?

[bamboozler]

Eightbore, a hard drive is computer lingo for the place on your computer where your pictures are stored. Now, let's see some of your guns!

[mike campbell]

That's an original (partial) box of Lubaloy 5's. The gun is a 30" , 20ga, Philly A.

I made the pattern stock ...




and had Donnie Gemes dupe it from a blank I bought from Cecil Fredi....



I finished it and checkered it.

[waterman]

nice work!!!! Cool gun can we get a few more pic? Nice

[eightbore]

That is some stock. Did you visit Cecil in Las Vegas or order the wood by internet?

[mike campbell]

Never been to Vegas. Of the 30 or so blanks I've bought, I've used Cecil for my 4 finest. He always provides pics of 6 or so that match my request perfectly. Agonizing over the selection is the best part of my projects.
I always get the layout and figure I want, but for my best I go for the symmetry in the figure.
Here's the only other pics I have, showing the side-to-side match...
