Why no pics with most NGD's around here?

No it isn't you are obviously already "participating" for free. Such a poor analogy . Pay to play (at all) or paying for extra enhanced membership features , is the norm when involved in most private enterprise. Only in your imagination is there any issue with your "choosing" to not be a charter member (which is fine) but to whine about the circumstances of your own choice, is pretty ironic , AT BEST

Not even close. KevWind said it succinctly here above me. I will add that it is simply play or don’t play. No charge or cost involved. However, don’t play and then complain about the rules.

Not quite sure how to post imgur pics directly from my iPhone to a post...?

Fantastic Mad. Let me know when you get bored and I’ll “let” you do one for me.

Here, here! How dare you provide me with a free service, then give me the option to pay a small fee to use the image hosting service that you've built into your website, while other websites charge outright for image hosting. Just who do you think you are?

Even though I use a free third party to post 99% of the photos I post here I still contribute $ to this great forum.

L-R: Lowden O25, Martin D-18 (2012 iteration), Martin HD-28V, Martin OM-28 Marquis (now gone, replaced by the Collings D2H in my sig.).

Front: Fylde Touchstone Walnut/Cedar Mandolin.

The Lowden sounds very rumbustious - loud, clear, strident ringing tone. Very different to the Martins.

If this is the case why can't a moderator or someone spell out that process so those of us who ARE charter members can easily figure it out. Its very frustrating.

I’m a Charter member, but I find Imgur is the easiest posting service to use. Happy Memorial Day, with more happy days to come
