I have a photo of my old 1937 Brazilian contract S&W 45 and its 1942 Tex Tan holster in my Windows photo gallery. I'd like to send it out to this forum. (Several members here helped me get the gun back in working order after I'd had some recent problems with it, and I thought they might like to see the subject of their handiwork.) I can't figure out how to send a picture though. Can any body tell me how? Thanks.

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 use Photobucket at 'photobucket.com'
It's free...
1. REGISTER
2. LOGIN
3. Have your image stored on your hard drive.
4. You will see a square empty box about midway down on your screen with a blue box with white lettering that says:
"CHOOSE FILES"
5. Double tap "CHOOSE FILES"
6. Browse to the directory on your hard drive where the image is stored.
6. Double click the image file name.
7. The file will automatically download and will now be stored on your Photobucket page. It will remain stored there until you delete it.
8. For posting to a forum go to the image of your choice. Below that image find the blue 'IMG code' line. (Pale yellow background box with fine black lettering.)
11. Place your cursor on the text 'IMG code' and tap the left mouse button one time which will turn the box background blue.
12. While it is now white lettering with a blue background press the right mouse button and select 'COPY'.
13. Open up a new post on the Forum or respond to an existing one.
14. Place your cursor in the dialogue box.
15. Press the right mouse button and select 'PASTE'.
16. The whole image title should be in the dialogue box with the brackets and
at the end of the string.
17. If you "Post Now", your post will have just your image. Now is the time to add your text. Just don't disrupt the format of the pasted image.
18. If your image is much too large you can go back to Photobucket and use their "EDIT" button to resize your image. Or, you can go back to your own photo editor for a resize and resubmit the image.
I find that if you size your images to 800 pixels wide you will get maximum page size without being too large. That is providing your picture was taken at a nominal size to begin with. If your picture started out smaller than that then leave it so it won't be distorted by a resize.
One word of caution. Once you have posted your pictures and submitted them to the post if you go back into Photobucket and delete the image all of your posts will lose that image.
Good Luck
