I have learned so much information about the M1 Carbine I just purchased recently from reading from your website the last few days. This is an incredible site.

Thanks

 

I wish I did but I paid a decent amount for it.

When I was young in the early sixties my dad bought an M1 Carbine and a Springfield Rifle from a catalogue and they were shipped to our house. 

He made a hunting rifle out of the Springfield and the M1 ended up with one of my six older brothers.

Best I can tell there are two ways to share your photos in a post.

The first method can be used when the photo is publicly accesible on the world wide web (internet).

It's been a while since I've helped someone with an Ipad, but Apple probably has this option/service.  There are also photo hosting services such as Flkr! that can be used the same way once you setup an account and copy the photo to them.

To use this option, when typing a post, use "post Reply" rather than "quick reply".  Get the full URL for the photo file from Apple cloud or Flkr! or whever the photo is.  Then click on the image icon in full reply and paste it there.

The second method is to upload your photo from your Ipad to this forum's server.

If you are familiar with clicking, dragging and dropping pictures, it kindof works like that.

This method can only be used if the photo file isn't to large.   Most of today's cell phones and camaras take photos that are too large.

So find the photos you want to share, then crop and/or shrink them so the file is under 500  kB.

Save these web friendly photo files under new names so you can find them in the directory or folder.  I usually leave the original file name and add c for cropped, r for reduced, and add a simple reminder of what's in the photo, such as RTI-WRA-stamp.

The IPAD may have a picture editing program included that will let you do these things. 

Then when you are posting a message, again use the "post reply".  Use the photo attachment icon.  Then select "browse".   Browse lets you look around the computer's file folders (sometimes called directories) to located the photos you want by name.  Click on the one you want.  Then click Upload.  Now you can enter the photo into your post.

Hope that helps.

 

We ask that everyone use to use the forum software for posting pictures.

The issue with 3rd party hosted like flikr and imgur is that eventually the pictures disappear from the post.  This does not help the new guy searching posts looking for answers.

There is a post about loading from an Ipad here

 it is located in the top sections of the forum "registration Help/Tutorials/member introductions.

In that section there are other tutorials for doing the same on a PC

I would anchorage everyone to learn how to use the forum software. If you are still having trouble you can email me the pictures and I will crop and resize and put into your folder or post if you choose.

Owned a Universal for many years, gave it to my neighbor lady, missed it and 3 weeks later traded for another.  Got to shoot one in the Air Force, loved it.

looking for a war relic, but everyone that has one will not part with it, or they want a fortune for it, so will enjoy my Universal.

I have been a shooter for 70 years, owned a gun shop just outside of Chicago in the 80's went broke trying to keep it open, closed after 3 years.
