• 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.

How do you put Big pictures on here?

Brian is correct.
Go to:
www.photobucket.com

Set up an account. Adding photos is easy now. You just drag them to the spot that says: Drag Photos here.
After it is on the site. You select that photo.
When it opens on the right side of the screen you will see:

Links to share this photo

In that box you choose:

Direct.

When you click in the box were the link is it will auto copy.

Then in the message you want to add the photo to just paste that link in the box provided while adding a photo.

Wala.. Easy peasy.

So if I want to post a pic I have to open an account at another site. Load the pic on said other site then transfer the pic to this site. Yeah right.

No, that's what you'd have to do if you wanted to post the pic WITHOUT IT BEING AN ATTACHMENT.

If you use attachments, which 99% of everybody does, you do it this way.

Photo Gallery, which I believe is included with Windoze, will resize photos very easily. Simply open the photo and click Properties, slightly left of center in the "Organize" section. Under Properties, click resize and make your adjustments.
