Gorby Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The post you mention is easy to find - it's the second item in 'Browse/FAQ'. I found it on my first visit to the site, so it isn't hidden in any way. Why would you feel the need to read nine pages when the the first post of that thread tells you all you need to now about posting pictures on this site? Give it a try - it is much easier than it sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 The irony of your somewhat hard to read post is that I think you have contributed to what you are trying to prevent! You have honestly lost me with your first line and it gets so much harder to follow the more you TRY to read on. You could have said all this in well under 25 words and probably received better responses to your query. Anyway - welcome to BM. Cheers..

Hey Steve... in my short time here it's been a long learning site curve. I already recognize your site input. I suggest U walk away & approach this site as a Newbie, perhaps using a full step clean away using a 3rd party to access this site, to get an unbiased perspective. I just wanted to improve Site user access I found lacking, now find 2 old Site users status quo piddle'd off for just saying... this site is not so new user access friendly. Seriously Steve... give me or any Newbie... 'the' direct site link how to advisory...access to... I want to post a pic to this site 43 minutes ago, stevehnz said: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhouse Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Posting photos is very easy. You'll need to host your photos on a photo sharing site then: 1 go to your photo hosting site 2 display the photo you wish to share 3 copy URL from address bar 4 paste the URL into your post: It really could not be easier.

I will never post what I have to an unknown, especially a 3rd party hosting site I've been burnt in the past... so many times by a Dutch cyber av site & I've burnt by a member here... from a time before the Net... who has profited using my 86 pix, without asking nor paying me for, tho he published & gave me credit for. Then he had a hissi-fit when I didn't buy his published book from him... that he never advised me he prior intended to or did publish... seriously ! 18 minutes ago, bhouse said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologise if my post came over as a personal attack, I was just confused, partly by the way you phrase things, and partly because you are saying that information that a newbie requires isn't clearly available, when it is. Just over a year ago I was also a newbie to this site, at one time we all were and yes it can be a little confusing at first, but if you take the time it is well worth the effort. As this site is run by volunteers on a very small budget, because of security issues and server space, posting pictures directly isn't an option. Your posts are coming over, to me at least, as very confrontational, which could be why you don't feel as though you are being warmly welcomed.

stevehnz Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) Right SB, please, go back to the new members forum from which you posted your initial post. have a look at other's intros versus yours which is negative & combative. Give yourself a chance to get to know us & us to know you without trying to dictate how the site is run, it is equally welcoming to newbies as much as scrotes like me who've hung around for a bit & pop up all over the place. I'm not sure if I'm replying to someone with a perceived problem or a troll with an axe to grind but I'm happy to give the benefit of the doubt, this time. Ask for help, you'll receive it, try to dictate what happens here & you'll likely get short shrift. I repeat, give yourself a chance to learn of this website, its foibles & strengths & the personalities therein & you'll find your own reward. If you chose not to, then that is a problem of your own making. Steve. Edited April 30, 2018 by stevehnz 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg B Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Mmmm, your real life experience evidently does not include social interaction skills..... I think we can do without you and your five slides here. Its not worth the buffoonery. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
