not able to upload photos

[greygrouse]

Lads,
I'm limited by a wind-up (... I mean DIAL-up) connection.
I'd like to post some photos for info and giggles. Haven't tried anything yet for fear of freezing my computer.
Is there a protocol/method for posting photos?? Do you have to use photobucket or similar??
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike

Mike - I too am on a dial-up connection. I've found that by shrinking my pics to 800 x 600 or even 640 x 480 I can upload them without timing out (one at a time). If you have a smartphone, you can also try the 'Tether' app to connect your PC to the Net via the phone. (But don't go on GB with Tether running - it's banned on GB).

I go to the local library [WiFi] to download large files (like Windows 8 ISO).

It is also advised that all members attach your pics (not link) to your thread/post here on LugerForum...Some of our more knowledgeable members are behind corporate/government firewalls that filter out [read block] PhotoBucket, YouTube, TinyPic, SmugMug, etc.

There are a couple threads on how to attach elsewhere on this forum. And Hey - This forum even has a Search function...Very few people know this...It's the Big Secret of Lugerforum...
