Unable to view pictures

I’m new here and would like to view the pictures other brothers have posted but all I see is a picture symbol and the picture name. If I click on that it says unable to download picture. Any suggestions? Also if I want to post a picture of a firearm in my collection can it be uploaded directly to the forum or does it need to be hosted on another site and just a link posted. Thanks. Btw I’m using an android device.

First let me say welcome to the forum. You can post pics directly to the forum if you want to. The problem with you seeing pics is there was a bug or something came through awhile back and messed up several years of pics. I think its any post before july 2022 the pics want show up for whatever reason. They might still be workin on trying to retrieve the old files but havent heard any update lately.

@String to upload a photo, notice in the lower right, when you select “reply” in the blue box, a bar with an upward pointing arrow. Tap that and select your appropriate file and photo for upload. Hope that helps, and welcome aboard.

@HandyDave Thanks for the welcome Dave. Glad to be here. And thanks for the response. That does seem to be the issue. I wasn’t paying attention to the dates once read you reply I scrolled ahead and the newer pictures do show up.

If the pictures are important to you message the original poster who may be able to send them. No way around the forum glitch.

You gotta ignore the chicken comments or you’re going to see some weird stuff…

And don’t even ask about the squirrels.
