I'm no computer genius but in 2 years on here I haven't figured out how to load pictures.
Any tips would be appreciated.

Download the taptalk app.. It turns your photo into an img url then you can post it as an i coded message.  :bigup:

I think you go to galleries in the top right then upload then insert it with [img]http://[/img] will check the specifics when I get up.

to post a picture, you need to upload it to some source where it isn't in a locked folder.  I use photobucket and whenever i upload the picture i move it to the unlocked/public folder.  even if its in your google drive, you just need to move it to a public folder.  then do this:

[img]http://"post direct url link here"[/img]

Tapatalk is the easiest way to post images here...  using a Photobucket account and linking pics in, can be a pain.

I think the Taptalk app costs $3, and once you pay it will work on most forums.

For me it was free, but I don't use it.

All good...then someone gets their account hacked...then what?

they would still have to take the pictures of the cigars with the little tag, if they don't have the cigars, how would they take the picture? it would stop people ripping off online images to use in their WTS threads.

on the picture thing i use the photobucket phone app. its really easy. take pic, click on upload pic, select photobucket as the upload source, choose which photobucket folder it goes in, click upload, the pic uploads, select share, select share with IMG url, click on the provided link, it then copies the hyper link to the clipboard, open OLH, press and hold till paste comes up, select paste.

exactly. picture and a dated "signature" would force these broke ass bums to have this stuff in hand. So say for example if the latest cheese dick was forced to post dated and signature pics he would've had to have in his possession a lot of high end cohibas (old EL's and decade old espys, etc) which I doubt he did.

Here's a thought, stop buying second hand and have the balls to buy directly from a legit shop.

I'd love to buy from a legit shop.  Some problems arise for me though.  I live in the usa.  If I were to go ahead and buy a box from a legit shop, I would t have anywhere to put it.  Storage is limited for me.  Buying 5'ers is perfect.
