Now that I have clicked over another year and am into the last quarter of my century I need some technical help from the forum. I really enjoy the comments and information. My question is how do I post pictures from my cell phone to the Forum for my range reports or other good stuff I may have.
Great forum. Really enjoying loading for and shooting my Henry 45 Colt. Now that I have added the Skinner sight all is great. Great sights from Andy.
Thanks all. Great group.

I'm no Techie but with my cell phone the pics I take are around 1mb to 2mb. Too big to post. So I e-mail it to myself, and it always asks if I want to send it original size or smaller and I send it small. Save it from the email to the pics section on the phone. Then I can use the "add file' option from the Post Reply on the Forum and it will load up. Sorry if that's confusing but it seems to work for me.
Good luck!

I think most here use Photobucket, but I have no idea how that works.

Wisconsin Shooter,

If you have a smart phone, one of the easiest ways is to set up a photobucket account with photobucket and then download the free photobucket app to you phone. All you do is take pictures with your phone. The photobucket app sends the pictures from your phone to your photobucket account automatically when you are connected to wi fi with your phone. It can be set to do it automatically or manually. When they are in your photobucket account, simply copy and paste the image address into the IMG on the full editor.

I have instructions on photobucket in the computer help section.
