If you can email or text pictures, you’re certainly capable of using the attachment feature when posting.
No I don’t want to text you
No I don’t want to email you
And no, I don’t want to click on your imgur link

Rant off

Well, I'll bet everybody certainly now realizes what a harsh lesson they've learned and will be sure to follow your command from this point forward to avoid any repercussions.

Well said, if they can’t figure out how to post a pic they probably can’t figure out how to send a package either.

Round count?

If "good" pictures are not with the advertisement I refuse to even look.

WGAF

almost forgot

GFY

I've tried posting pics from my phone. Zero luck every time.

I'm a tech tard.

Don't look at my listings.

GFYS

I don't mind either way. Is what it is. Lot of things I can't do either, so if someone doesn't know how to post pictures, big deal. If the rifle interests me, I can get pictures by text or email, which I have from some on here.

It comes easy to some, to others, not so much. I have no problem asking for pictures if I'm interested in the item. With all the different forums I'm on, it's not easy to figure it out when half of them are not all the same process. I gave up on a few. I'll try this one again because I have something to post for sale.

Welcome to the new 24hourcampstagram

Uh oh , looks like theres a new sheriff in town .!

And he drives a fecking Ford. 🙄

Pick up that can, citizen!

Well, I know I will.

I hate being talked to sternly.

Believe it or not, not everyone is as tech savvy as you. There are hardworking people in this country who rarely use computers. Yes, I know how to post pictures but am not going to look down on those who can't. If the lack of a picture offends you then move on.

stfu

Lol - how does it shoot?

Or start a thread crying like a little girl about it.....

While I like pictures w/ the posting, life doesn't always give you what you want.

Ya know what has pictures? Websites selling new products for full retail, plus tax!

These are used classified. If you don't like it, buy new; they even take credit card payment.

Like the Bud Light debacle, understanding who is actually around you goes a long ways. You're on a classified gun board offending and talking down to half the participants. Some of which know twice as much about rifles than I'll ever learn, but they might not be able to post pictures.

Good way to put yourself on the do not do business with, either buying from, or selling to, list. If you don't like something there is a whole lot smarter ways of going about it, just saying.

LOL

Some people think that just because their WiFi and cell coverage is great, everyone’s must be.

I stand out by the pasture fence to text a photo.

I “time out” posting pictures.

Beats living in town

BMT

I’m a bit jealous BMT…😉

Yes sir, I’ll try to do better.

Someone has had a bad day maybe.

This site has a 2MB picture size limit and My phone pics are usually bigger than that so they text better direct to an interested party , or E-mail.
Some of us do what we can do with what we got to work with...

She already did.

I’m just fine with ads with no pics.

If it’s something I want, it’s less competition.

Postimage is your friend and way around that.

I am not familiar with that one...
Thanks AKwolverine !

https://postimg.cc/gXNK0WfJ

You got it.

Now just choose “hotlink for forum” rather than thumbnail and voila!

Got it ! Thank you for helping out an Old Alaskan living in Okrahoma !

👍

Oklahoma Rural Internet is just a step above dial up...we are still waiting for fiber optic line.

I'd be happy to post pics for anyone that has a hard time doing it. Just send a PM.

ned

OH!
I have an idea....
Why don't you mandate that unless pictures are attached then the AD won't post?



oh, that's right...cause your nobody and what you think doesn't matter for fk.

Guess what?

I'd be more concerned with hacked users and scam posts that posted pictures.

did you check with the op first to see if he will allow it?.......nice offer...bob

Another reason this site is going to chit! If you don't like my ad, without pics tough!

thank you AK!!

For the tech unsavy….

It truly is 4 super easy steps. If you have trouble, message me. I can send pictures of how to do it.


1. Go to https://postimages.org/

2. Upload your pic to it.

3. Choose “hot link for forum”

4. Paste that over here.

tag

Sellers ad, sellers choice, it's just that simple.
If a seller doesn't post pictures, he hurts nobody, other than himself.

Pretty much sums it up… no different than pissing on someone’s thread. If you don’t like the item, content or the price, just move along.

Like the Bud Light debacle, understanding who is actually around you goes a long ways. You're on a classified gun board offending and talking down to half the participants. Some of which know twice as much about rifles than I'll ever learn, but they might not be able to post pictures.

Alright you smarmy bustards with all the answers,, I don't need a thing, but I often buy something because the pic trips my trigger.

No pic ....no interest.

Pictures are a big help. With that being said I've bought things that I had to ask for Pictures and there's a few members I've done business with I'd still buy sight unseen. Not everyone has a decent smartphone or tablet or laptop or even decent cell coverage or wifi.

I like to see pics too, but an ad with a decent description of the item and an offer to text or email pics, certainly doesn't
turn me off.
To the OP. If you don't like it, move on! A lot of us have gotten along just fine for a lot of years without your demands.
donsm70

Don’t like it? Then just leave. Not hard to ask for pics.

There is an art to selling...............


It takes a little effort.

No pics .....no interest. I just move on . I might have bought something .

It is like a gal with no " make-up"...............

I like how you think. 👍

TY

I use a PC for posting on the campfire. I take pictures using my apple phone. I have absolutely no idea how to get pictures from one to the other. Lots of phone crap, I am a babe in the woods about. miles

I lurked around this forum for years and years but only joined recently. In that short time, I haven’t seen anything not sell because of a lack of pics. Most sellers have some form of work around. The only thing I’ve seen not sell something is the asking price or something about the seller not passing the sniff test.

Everyone has their own criteria for whether or not they bite on something. Your criteria may not be mine….. and that’s just fine. Live long enough and you’ll get to experience some REAL life problems. I don’t sweat the small stuff.

I’m more put off by people who don’t put sizes in their thread titles. I’m pretty tired of opening links to discover the seller is the size of a dwarf.

You entitled little [bleep]. Now you’re gonna criticize payment methods . GFY

Miles Circle back in the thread I was the same. Out of all of this AkWoverine did a pretty significant PSA for a bunch of us

Hank

Well the Boomers don’t have to think about taking pop cans back to be able to afford the product listed

Nice job endearing the group

Hank

The only way I can do pictures is that I have my grandson's girlfriend take the pics with her phone.

Then she sends the pics to my e-mail address so I can forward the pics.

I have had some that would post pics for me. I really appreciated that.

I can only e-mail pics. I don't have texting either.

I have dealt with a lot of people on this site, both buying and selling. Everyone I have dealt with has been decent, so far.

If you are someone that just has to have pics posted, I DON"T need you either.

I am a BOOMER.

If a potential buyer won't even pm for pics, they aren't too interested in buying in my opinion.

LOL looks like I touched a nerve with a lot of you. Excellent 😆

Better yet, offer to "Facetime" them and walk them through the process. After a time or two they should be able to do it themselves. I had a member here walk me through it and it was awesome. Thanks again Cheesy!

The attachment manager is here if you want to add pictures right from your device

Then click here

Then one of these two and select your image.
Follow the prompts.
Your image will be attached but not visible to you until you submit the post.

Like fingernails on a chalkboard.


ya!


GWB

You can also put post image app on phone and when you take picture it can be uploaded directly to app. Then follow above directions. Not hard at all and I am about as computer illiterate as they come.
Safe shooting
Doug

You don’t have to use any apps or third party sites. That’s what I’m trying to tell you all!!

Well you certainly got some "Good For You 's " over this...

Actually you have to resize pics for them to work on this site a lot of times. Glad you have it all figured out.

Fugkin Yankee know it all

Im going to take my ball now and go home.

Sounds like a government official…..
I’ll be glad to post pictures for any of the good members ( friends!!! ) here…..
Far better to help than to hinder….

I have an idea .Let’s restrict how much someone can charge for shipping and handling. Hey, let’s not allow anyone to sell a 270 Winchester here. 😂

I can do it your way and have at various times. Apps or a 3rd party website are better for handling the pics.

And a heck of a lot faster.

Not sure if this post is being intentionally ironic or if it just turned out that way...
Isn't avoiding having to PM or text for pictures the whole point of the thread?
I'll try to post a couple pictorials when I get time that will expand. I use Postimages too, on my laptop, but use a slightly different process than listed above.

Rex

I bet that you are really the life of the party. NOT !!!

Every time I try to post a photo here the same error message pops up telling me the file size is to big. I mention I can text or email photos to an interested person. If that doesn't work for some people then they can stop looking at what I am selling.

Besides, in my experience plenty of people who have to see photos and even ask for more generally are just time wasters and rarely buy anyhow.

If I can post pictures, anyone can

Really?
Get over yourself.

What ever happened to that "you'll do good here if" post?

No Rugers should be allowed in the Classifieds

This is a big stumbling block - let's work it out. I am in the same boat as you sir - I use my PC for 24HCF and my iPhone to take pics.

There are two major ways to get pictures from your iPhone to your PC.
1) You can email the pictures from your iPhone to your email account that you use on your PC, open your email on the PC, then save the pictures from the email message. To email yourself a picture from your iphone:
a)Open the picture on your phone and select the "share button" circled here:

b) That will bring up several ways to share the picture. The email account you have on your phone should appear among them. In my case, that's yahoo Mail. Select your email:


c) this should bring up your email with the picture already attached to it. Type your own email address into the "To:" window and hit send. Then you can open your email on your PC and save the picture from your email to your PC.


2) You can connect your iPhone to your PC and transfer the pictures using Windows File Explorer.
[If this sounds like greek to you, go to whatever you use to do internet searches and type in "Windows file explorer tutorial." You will get a lot of choices to watch videos on how to use File Explorer.]
a) Have your PC on and select the File-shaped icon to open explorer. Using the knowledge you just learned on the Explorer tutorial, make a file where you want to save the pictures from your iphone

b) Take your iPhone charging cable and plug the USB end into one of the USB ports on your PC. Make sure your iPhone is open and unlocked and plug it to the charger. When your PC recognizes it, it'll show up as a "drive" in Explorer. The first couple times you try this, your iPhone may show you a display asking if you should "Trust this Device." Say yes.

c) click on this drive and it'll open up the iPhone "Internal Storage" where all your pictures on your phone live. Click on that object.

d) The current iPhone software versions store your pictures in folders by year and month they were taken. Choose the year/month you took the desired pictures to save to your PC

e) Use your new-found knowledge of File Explorer to copy the desired pictures from your iPhone to the file you made for them on your PC.


And Bob's your Uncle. Next subject - how to take pictures from your PC and post them to 24HCF...

Cheers,
Rex

If I’m really interested in something I like pictures you can enlarge on your computer or tablet. I can’t see an item on a text well enough to know if I would purchase or not. I’m a boomer and figured out how to post pictures. Take some time and notes and figure it out. My 2 cents worth!!

My goodness some are making the simple difficult. If you are using your iPhone for photos, simply post them to this site from your iPhone. It literally takes 15 seconds using postimage and eliminates a cumbersome step.

This is how I use Postimage to post quality pics to 24HCF:

1) Go to Postimages.org on your web browser. Select the size shown here, then select "Choose Images."

2) Nagivagate to the pictures you want in Windows Explorer, select them and click Open at the lower right of the display (forgot to circle it for you here but I'm confident you can find it.)

3) The chosen images will upload to Postimages. Select the picture you want to post

4) Then right mouse click on the open image in Postimages, and select "copy image link."

5) now go to the post that you are writing on 24HCF. Put your cursor where you want that image to appear in your text. Select "Use Full Editor" on your post.

6) Click on the "insert image link" tab

7) Right mouse click in the URL window and select "paste.", then click OK.

8) the images you've selected will just look like this, until you select Preview Reply:

9) Then you be able to review your post and make sure the image and all else is as you want it:

10) Then select Post Rely and you're done.


Hope this helps everyone.

Cheers,
Rex

Rex, that works, but you don’t need to do that. You’re making a three step process a ten step process.

Take picture. Go to postimage. Select image. Hotlink for forum. Paste. Done.

20 seconds.

Happy to learn but not seeing that. I see the hotlink option. Are you saying paste it directly into the post?
Is there a daily limit to postimages or something? I may have burned through it making those tutorials.

Any help is appreciated

And what you're describing seems no faster than what I already do - it's the same steps you're describing

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can't stop laffin'!

No limit. Yes, copy the hot link for forum and simply paste that into your post where you want the picture to appear.

Since when did this become a bad thing? 🤔

It cuts out half of your steps. At your number five you post the link into the thread and you are done.

Hard to have much respect for or care too much about discussion anything with someone who bought into the Boomer train. Just another victim who was told by their mom and dad they were special and important. Pretty used to getting what he wants from home.

Jeffy D,

It is not a bad thing. Most boomers have a lot more going for them than the mutts making fun of boomers.

21 seconds including scrolling down to this post again.

Who would have thought a Ford driver would jumpstart an educational thread ??? LMAO

Posting pictures is sooooo hard! It must have taken me all of two minutes to post them.

Sometimes being the fastest isn't always the best. I admit, I do it the cumbersome way. Take pictures, TEXT them to my email and then load them into photobucket. It certainly isn't the fastest or easiest but it works for me. I have trouble with my fat fingers and the keyboard on my phone.

Thanks for proving even a retard can do it! 😆

Skip your step 5 and 6. No need for full editor. No need for clicking on the picture icon.

For your 7 just paste the “hot link for forum” into the body of your campfire reply.

Yesterday Postimages started acting up on me so I couldn't try out your suggested method. Today I gave it a try.
You are correct it is "faster" in that there are a total of two fewer clicks on the mouse to do what you're describing, as I just used your method to post three images to a new listing for some brass I'm selling.

I think we can agree that getting the images onto the Postimages site is common to both. From that point forward, you might save a second, max. But I'll take a second less off my life any day - LOL. Learn something new every day.

Cheers,
Rex

Hey Dinny,
No offense brother, but on my PC none of your pics show up. They're all the PostImages Blue Square of Death. Twenty-seven of them.

Cheers,
Rex

Same on my computer, blue squares.

I’ll be damned, even an old Marine can do it!

Today I see a few blue squares too, but most the pictures are still there. Every once in a while postimages has fits and doesn't work perfectly. I attribute that to not having a paid account.

Yep. Pure comedy.

What a dink……..I don’t waste my time learning digital. I’m analog.

Ive never had a computer…built guns with folks you can’t understand their skills.

I’m doing a Britte action from Stephen Dodd Hughes. Built in the 1930s buried till 1999

With the help of D’Arcy Echols I found a man to stock it. He learned and worked stocking shotguns at H&H.

I’m sending him a $2000 chunk of wood to do this side lock.

But with your input I realize that would be a mistake….. he has no cell phone and can’t even text a picture.

Thank you for your brilliant logic.

And I’m paying him cash. As I usually do when I buy things on the fire.

No it's not that difficult but it is 20yr old outdated technology. How many other forums still use third party image hosting?

Attached files won't allow anything larger than 2MB. iPhone used to let me size them down but now it won't for some reason. Combine that with IMGUR blocked at work, and here I am wanting to post something but can't.

Try Postimages.org as so many here have suggested.

I don't mind asking a seller to send me pictures. A lot of times it gives me an advantage to be one of the first to see the item that's up for sale.

Not really the best example of posting pictures.

It's not really a serious rant UNLESS YOU'RE SHOUTING IN ALL CAPS!

Browning experiment
Hey it worked! Usually they say they are to big but this time it worked

Bump for future reference.
