Followed a kind suggestion by ellenbr to try IMGBOX (Imgur having blocked us for legal reasons on this side of the pond😞).

Not sure where I found this nice picture of a lovely best Boxlock built by David Dryhurst, but felt it was worth sharing for the test run.

Sadly the gun is not mine.

Perfect results, and, subject matter, from here.

Best,
Ted

I've tried a number of photo hosting sites to check their features and see which are the most user friendly.

All you really need to do to make certain everything will work here on DoubleGunShop forum is to make a TEST POST, and then just click on "Preview Reply"

If your image shows up in the Preview, then it would also show up if you actually Posted the reply. Previewing also gives you the option to decide whether you may wish to change, edit, crop, or resize your image before actually posting it.

I am curious what possible legal reason Imgur could have for blocking people in the UK from uploading images of old shotguns. But nothing the Liberal Left does in their attempts to control and censor content surprises me anymore.


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug

Thanks for the guidance about Test Posts, Keith.

As I understand it, Imgur’s problem was not (for a change) the guns, but potential liabilities under our Online Safety Act should they be held to have failed to safeguard children from indecent images.

Frustratingly their decision means that when I view posts from Forum members (such as Lloyd3 and SKB) their pictures are replaced to UK members with a blue rectangle “Content not viewable in your region”

Parabola, I post pics using jpgbox. When I do, are you able to view them?
