Hi, new member here. I have a couple of questions about the forum that I haven't found the answers to yet. (Maybe I'm just looking in all the wrong places)....
Is there an email notification system to alert members that there are new posts to threads they created or are participating in?
I tried to post a picture but had no success. I did see a mention somewhere that there's a limit on the size of picture, so I tried emailing the picture to myself and then posting it (my normal method of reducing resolution) but it still won't post. Is there another answer to this issue that I'm just not seeing, or should I resign myself to this being a text-only forum?
I like the forum in general terms, and I'm seeing a few friends from other forums that have been shut down and that's nice.

To get pictures posted in the past I used photobucket, I started having some issues with that and just gave up on it. I know guys are still posting pics and vids here with no problems so hopefully one of them will chime in on this thread. As far as size limits on pics I’m not sure about except to say I never had an issue back when I was posting pics. I’ll check with the admin on the email thing, as far as I know that’s not a feature. Sorry, that wasn’t much help but I’ll check around.

I had to have help the last time I posted pictures. so, I've got a call in to my tech right now. I can't remember how I did it. I should have an answer for you later tonight or tomorrow.
if you want to post a video, copy the url, paste it, then take the "s" from the https and hit create post.
but let me think on how to post pictures.

ok, I figured it out. in the comment box, in the bottom right corner you should see "reply" in a box. click "reply". in the upper right corner you should see "edit attachments". click on that. click on "add files". it'll take you to the pictures in your computer.

For pics I usually post them on our web site and then link to them like this. But any site that hosts pics will work. As Brent says, you can add attachments, but the pics will be small

I used photobucket for years on my iPhone until I started having issues with it. I finally got frustrated with it a couple years ago and got rid of it, of course when I did that years worth of pics I had posted disappeared. With the forum starting to come back to life I decided to give it a try last night. It’s changed a little, before I could copy a link and it would post the pic, now there is only a copy button that copy’s a link and that is what gets posted. I think I’m missing a step somehow, or maybe photobucket isn’t what it used to be, I don’t know, any suggestions? I snapped a quick pic of my strat which is the link I posted above. I’m pretty sure I’m doing something wrong.

It worked! I can see your Strat but I have to turn my tablet 90* (like a phone) in order to see the whole photo. Otherwise, i can only see the neck and I can’t adjust the size.
