    Tried to introduce myself and post a picture of my Browning. Couldn’t post a pic.
    Is there a rule? Couldn’t find one.
    It wants me to enter the image’s url, but it is on my phone.

    There is a problem posting pics. I have posted it in the member welcome area, but in short you have to use a photo hosting site. I use Imgur. It’s easy. If you need help with that let me know. If you see my post about pictures you will get all the info.

    You can download Imgur on your phone also, if you have a smart phone, which I assume you do.

    Not sure I don’t use it, however, if it’s not a sharing site then it won’t work you would have to do some playing around with it to see if it works. Imgur is so much easier.

    Google Photos is unsuitable for providing a simple link for a forum,

    This is what I got from a quick search

    I think it's a sharing site. Just turned 80 years old 3 days ago. May take me awhile!

    Give Imgur a try. It’s free and easy to use. I think one time and you will be hooked. It even keeps all your pictures in one spot. If you need help with that I can help

    No, I realized I had these pics in another forum, so I figured they must have a proxy host, so I just copied and pasted them!

    Over on Shotgunworld it’s now possible to upload pictures directly. I’m hoping that happens here too. Because if Imgur goes the way of PhotoBucket, no one will be posting photos.
