The whole point of joining this site was so that I could post some attachments of hallmarks on a couple of extremely old pieces that I have. Do I really need to upload them first to another site and then put links in my post to see the images? Maybe it's because I'm a new user that this is restricted, but it's definitely inconvenient if this is the case.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

No, there is no 'new user' restriction.

I appreciate the website and what it does, but that's a real pain in the you know who to post images....

Hi,
This is another excellent site for uploading images (for German speakers).
https://abload.de/
When the image is uploaded you just copy-paste the direct link to this forum (Direktlink für Foren).
Sometimes we spend hours searching for mystery marks, the only reward being solving the issue.
In a word, it`s worth trying if you want your marks identified.

When I had to figure it out, the techno-jibberish logs were of no help. Once I started pushing all the buttons like kids do, it became easier than pouring a cup of coffee (constant changes in technology at the host sites can be a minor irritant). You'll find it to be a useful tool (we could use more sites with image posting). In the meantime, cus and scream at the box as much as you want until the student surpasses the master...just keep pushing the buttons.
