• 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.

Posting pictures from iPhone or iPad

You can do it either from TapaTalk or directly from Safari if your iOS is up to date.

When composing a reply in Safari, click the Manage Attachments button under the typing window.

In the new window that opens, click the Choose File button and proceed accordingly.
 
Or upload them to some image service (iphoto, tumblr, picasa, imgur, etc) and link to that.

The only real reason to host images at TFL is if you think the image is going to be taken down from those services. vbulletin can do it, but why? It's one more place you have to go to manage images. There are apps for uploading to major imagehosting services that are easier to use than uploading to TFL.
 
I just couldn't get the hang of tapatalk. I tried it, but I'm just too used to the native forum.

When I click "manage attachments" and attemp to upload a pic from my phone I get denied. It says that my pics are too large and are over the forums alotted size.

How does iPhoto handle this? I use iPhoto to manage all of my pics.
 
I'm guessing iphoto has some way to create public links to individual images? Copy one of those to the clipboard, then paste the link into a post, either as an image with or as a link with [url] (non-embedded)

I'm not an apple customer, so I don't know much about iphoto. I only listed it because I figured it would be the default way to handle images on iOS.
