Posting Pictures

[TTFulltimer]

Any pictures I put on my website I cannot post here. If I send them to someone on Facebook Messenger, I can post it. Example.

You could just post them here if they're smaller than 1mb. The example picture is small enough and any that are larger could be resized.

That picture stored in my website folder is 409K

Hi, TTFulltimer:
The issue isn't the image, but rather the site you're sharing from. The forum is secure (you can see the padlock in the address bar), but the site you're sharing from isn't. Since the site you're sharing from isn't secure, the forum won't show the image. The image you shared from Facebook is secure (you'll see the same padlock in the address bar).

Since your image is only 409K, you can upload it directly to the forum. If you look below the Save draft, Preview, and Submit buttons, you'll see two tabs. Select "Attachments," click add files, and then upload your image and place it in your post.

If you want to share directly from your site, I'm afraid you'll have to secure your site first in order for that to work here.

I hope this helps. I'm moving this thread into the Tech Support area of the forum since it's about functionality on the forum.

Thank you Kristi. I will try the attachment feature.

Pretty scales,TT.

In my opinion, it's ALWAYS best to scale down your pics and then upload them to the Spyderco Forum site. In the few short years since Algore invented the internet, there have been innumerable "image hosting" sites that have come and gone. Wherever you're sharing your pictures now, there's a good chance that eventually the site will fade away, go behind a paywall, or change the directory path. When that happens, the images you shared on the forum will disappear forever.

If you want your images to have a better chance of surviving, upload them here.

I have had my website since 1998, so I think things will last there. I will upload them here as they will always last on my storage drives. About 18Terabytes now since 1994 or so. I do my best to avoid using anyone else's computer, that is all a cloud is, just Frank in his mom's basement.

I've got about 330 photos posted here from a Chinese host that I randomly selected one day, and while the site has been great thus far, I worry about this scenario on a semi-regular basis...
