doublegunshop.com - home Forums Thread Like Summary - Posting photos here

I am going to try to "endeavor to persevere' with this convoluted process. But I will have to confess, with all due respect to everyone here who says it's so easy, literally 60 seconds, is just flat wrong. Lots to do to first get photos from your photo source, either camera or phone, onto your pc, then selecting a hosting site that actually works, before you can then put them on this forum. Here's a video that proves my point:

Posting directly from your phone simplifies the process. I promise you that if I have a good signal I can post a picture here in less than 60 seconds using www.postimages.org.

The key to doing it quickly is to ignore all their attempts to get you to sign up for an account. Click on the link, then select "choose images." On the next screen, select "media." That will get all of your pictures onto the screen, so select the one you want. Once it has completely loaded, and that takes only a few seconds with a good signal, you will see your picture and a menu below it. Click "hotlink for forums" if you want to post it here. Then you just paste it here and hit "post reply." Give it a try.

Coosa. Thanks for the headsup on Postimages.org. Exactly what I have been looking for.

Well, don't worry, I am an old Ag teacher and we will figure this out.

You didn't follow directions if you tried to create an account; DO NOT create an account.

First, since you did try to create an account you need to reboot your phone to get rid of all that. Reboot it and click the link below:


www.postimages.org

You will see this screen:




Click on the button that says "choose images". Then this screen will appear:



Note the menu at the bottom of the screen that has now appeared. That's the one that has "media" as one of the options, and once you click on it all of your files will appear.

Try it again and see if you can get to that screen.

Let's see if this works. You'll hopefully see a CZ Ringneck and a Browning B-SS.

Looks like it works!

John,
Until you figure out where you are going wrong, if you need a picture posted, pm or email it to me, and I will get the thing up for you.

Best,
Ted

Thanks Ted, but I really want to be able to do this myself.
JR

And, I want you to be able to, as well. But, I figured you had an emergency photo posting need on the booze post, and figured I’d offer the help.

Anything for a friend.

Best,
Ted

John, does your phone look like this?

JR

John,

You could text or email your photos from your phone to yourself. Then you can go to your computer and download them from the text or email.

Stan,
That's how I do it as well, having everything on my desktop makes it easier to work. JPEG does the rest for me.

We have mechanical experts who can disassemble a Parker (devilish) or sleeve a barrel...but sending a photo from a phone to an email, downloading it, then uploading it onto Imgur or jpgbox is a crossword puzzle. My sons do this to me all the time (as I was trying to teach them how to use a wood plane or drive a nail with a hammer). I have to admit, I still use handsaws and up until recently a Brace & Bit).

There's an alternative to a brace and bit now, for drilling holes?

Here are the steps I use to do so with jpgbox.com, John.

1 - I start out on DGJ site and then create a new tab which opens up the address box for me to type in "jpgbox.com".

2- When jpgbox.com comes up I click on the box that says "Choose File".

3- When I do that I get a page that allows me to go to downloads, or photos, etc.

4- I normally go to photos, which brings up hundreds of photos we've saved to our "Photos" on our computer. I find the photo I want, then click on it, and it is highlighted.

5- That causes a box to highlight which says "Choose", and I click on it.

6- Then I am automatically re-directed to my jpgbox.com page. I then see a box at the bottom of the page which says "Upload image as guest". Click on that.

7- In a few seconds your picture will be uploaded and will appear on the page. Just below it there will be choices of the size image you want it to be. As long as you stick with the size they choose for you it will always post without problem.

8- There will be two boxes under your picture. Click on the top one that says "For forums". That highlights it in blue. Copy that.

9- Go back to your other tab to go back to the DGJ forum and paste it in your reply box there. Then submit your reply.

I know this looks lengthy and confusing, but I promise you that after you learn the procedure you can do it in a minute or less. I have never attempted to post a pic from my smart phone, prolly never will. All my pics are stored on my desktop computer anyway.

Good luck. Call me if you need help walking through it.

John, glad to hear your son will be able to help you import the photos from your I-Phone to your Windows PC. I'm sure you'll be posting pics here shortly.

Here's a pic I took several days ago while deer hunting. It's an old Bessemer Hit and Miss single cylinder engine that was used in an oil well pumphouse. Although the pumphouse and linkages to the rocker pumps are long gone, this one is kind of unusual in that it has two flywheels, and the cylinder head water jacket is still mostly intact. Most I find have just one much larger flywheel. I leaned my Marlin 1895 .45-70 next to a flywheel for a size reference.

Gorgeous gun!!

Thanks! It was my Dad's #1. He was a friend of Walter Clode's, so we were a WR household. lol. I knew Simon as well, toured the old factory back in the late 1980's.

I have had the gun since the 1980's, but I never realized that the trigger was selective until I read an old cashmore catalog.

That is a really nice Cashmore. I have two, neither as nice as yours. A hammer game gun and a Paragon. I'd love a sidelock gun.

I have never seen nor heard of a single trigger Cashmore, so that is interesting also.

Both of mine have deep drops at the heel, close to 3". And lots of cast off - nearly an inch. They are the two guns I shoot best by a substantial margin.

I'm glad to see you are getting it done John. It looks like your son has nailed it, because I see the trail camera image of a turkey near a feeder. As I told you before, my offer of any assistance I can give is still open, just let me know.

I loves me some Cashmore. I have never owned a hammer shotgun, other than a muzzleloader, always wanted to. I have held a Paragon, years ago. They are very nice.

I had Westley's bend and fit mine to my measurement's that were taken when I visited the old factory. I hope they still have them on file, as I don't know what the cast measurement is.
Including a top view, so you can see the cast.
