Picture Posting
"A picture is worth a thousand words" is a proverb from the early 1900's that is still true in the 21st century.[1] Showing us pictures of what you actually have is encouraged in the TFP Forums rather then trying to describe it in text.
Please Load All Pictures to the TFP Server
We would prefer you upload all pictures to the TFP server instead of other photo sharing services where you post a link. This puts all forum text and picture postings under TFP control. In the early days of TFP pictures were loaded onto a popular photo sharing site and linked to. And then that photo sharing site decided to charge for storing photos and caused a lot of good information to be lost. Also clicking on unknown links are discouraged due to the possibility of it leading to virus and ransomware.
Server Limitations
