• 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.

Open an account on a photo hosting site, I use Photobucket.

Upload your pics, then there is an info/URL code button somewhere. I do 99% of my computing lately from my phone. On the iPhone App, when you are looking at the picture, it is a lower case "i" in a circle in the lower right corner. I then click the address by "IMG." This copies said URL with the image tags already in place.

Start your post right here on TFL. It also works on the other forums I am on. Paste the copied image tag/URL from earlier.

Repeat. (We all love pics)

It's that easy.

Depending on which device you are using, the pics might need to be resized. Don't know how to do that, as I use my phone for that as well. They are a little big, but no one has complained yet, and I see lots if similarly sized pics.

You could also select (highlight) and then copy the URL from the address bar at the top of your browser window, then click the image button in the thread tools bar above your post text. It's the little square with the mountains and round celestial body. It will place the image tags in your post. You can then place the cursor between the two tags and paste your URL betwixt the two.
