Hello and Welcome mwgreen00!!!
Here is a basic problem: linking pics off-site. It is requested that you post your pics *on-site* so that they endure over time...
The very people who can answer your questions are the people behind corporate firewalls that block pics (and even certain sites). There are other knowledgeable people who still retain dial-up connections (rural areas for instance) and can't wait 10 minutes for overlarge pics to load.
This site will accept large pics (to an extent) and resize them in-thread. Posting the pics to LugerForums also assures that they will show up as part of the web page.
Good luck and we all hope you enjoy this site!
