• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Loading pics in the gun forums?

Is there a place where you store pics to upload them in the forums?

I've tried to upload from the my pictures folder in windows XP, but it keeps telling me that my jpeg files are too big?

Any "how to" instructions?

Thanks,

Donald :)
 
I upload mine to imageshack.com and it will supply a link to the picture and then post the link here with the "insert image" tool supplied above. There are many free image storage sites.
 
Photobucket.com works well and is easy to use.

Re-Sizing a picture

Yep, my pc tells me the same thing. What I do is this, open the picture from it's own file, and you will find the tab that states resize photo. I make mine 1000 pixals and it auto maticly fills in the bottom figure and when you go to close the picture it will ask if you want to save it and click yes. The program will save the photo and even give a number so you know which photo has been resized. This will work with Dell Image Studio. Hope it helps:cool:

I agree that imageshack.com or photobucket.com are the way to go.
