• 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.

I tried to load an image yesterday. When I clicked on the " Incert Image
Icon" above it prompts me to enter URL of image. I was trying to
upload a jpg image so there is no url. I wound up , uploading an attachment.

The image i attempted to upload was 13.3kb.

I am viewing uploaded images of other members all the time. What am i
not doing correctly?

Also when trying to increase font size i get what you see below.

[SIZE= "7"][/SIZE]

All images to be displayed must be uploaded to an image hosting site whether that site is external to TFL or not. In other words, TFL is also an image hosting site, it's just that they are called attachments here (and they can't be linked to at other sites, but that's a different issue).

From your question it sounds like the image originally resided on your personal system. There is no way to link to it unless you have created an internet accessible folder containing the image. That is highly unlikely.

So you have to upload it to a site such as photobucket.com (there are many other image hosting sites), or upload it here as an attachment. After uploading, it is then viewable as either an image in the post (using the tags) or as a link to the image (using the [URL] tags).

The "Insert Image" icon asks for the URL of the image which you have uploaded to an image hosting site. An attachment can also be used in that way, but attachments generally already reside in a post and there is no need to use that icon to display it.

As for your font size question (which doesn't actually appear to be a question), I assume you mean how is it supposed to work. You can highlight a block of text and use that function to change the font size of that block or you can type your new text in between the two tags if you wish.

If you are asking how to increase the text of an entire page, that is a browser function. Most of them use the "Ctrl +" or "Ctrl -" keys to increase or decrease font size on a page. You can also use the browser menu to make permanent changes (it's usually under the "View" menu).
