markus544 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I must apologize for my lack of knowledge in advance. Can someone please give me some advice on how the hell you can post a decent photo on the forum that will conform to the restriction in size. For the love of Pete I cannot figure it out. I would consider myself to be average computer person, or so I thought. The almighty Google God has failed me thus far. I must say my wife is somewhat annoyed at my profanity in this attempt. It's time for me to take my blood pressure medication. Thanks in advance for any consideration. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) (EDIT: Not exactly answering your question...) I go around the forum size restrictions by using a free "image hosting site". imgur.com is one postimages.org is another Edited November 1, 2023 by kohlenklau 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus544 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 I messed around with a different one than those. I'll give them a shot, thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markus544 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 I'm in Discord and I don't know were I am to go and paste anything. Again I am not that good at this stuff. I think I am getting close just the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) ok, these image hosting websites offer a variety of ways to get your image to where you want. if you pick the wrong way, then you just get some link text and NOT the image. Go to your site and MAYBE look for the method that says the word "direct", copy it from there by hitting a button usually then go to CM forum and paste EDIT: I guess Chucky says discord does this for you already? But the host sites are like albums and you can see it all clearly. I am not sure if discord offers that...

markus544 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 Okay, I'll try it out. The discord deal was a bust for me, but I'm kind of a moron when it comes to this stuff. There are some photo's that I would really like to post. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 I think you always want the one that ends in .jpg Got it? Here is your embedded photo "Direct link" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 As a 1946 'what-if' perhaps against the Soviets, the Super Pershing is interesting. In CM game terms I can't see BFC modelling what was literally a one-off using bits of added Panther armour. I was kinda hoping they might do the stock M26 though, but I don't think I'll hold my breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus544 Posted November 1, 2023 Author Share Posted November 1, 2023 OMG you got it thanks buddy. Now whether this vehicle ever saw combat or not is relevant to me. In any event it was too little too late for number of reasons. One was that transportation issues. The Pershing would not fit on the existing system we the USA had in place. That's why the Sherman was the main tank of the war. Did the M4 stand a head-to-head fight on Panther, no. Are guys flanked them and shot them on the sides. There is no doubt in my mind that the Sherman won the war by sheer weight of numbers. The USA out produced the Germans and the Japanese in every weapon system period. By the end of the war, we overwhelmed them by sheer weight of numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought but 80% of German casualties are often said to have been on the East Front. But there were of course some Lend Lease Shermans there as well . 14 minutes ago, markus544 said: By the end of the war, we overwhelmed them by sheer weight of numbers. Can't argue with that, also bearing in mind Soviet production of T34s etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2020 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Here's another free image hosting site I've used for several years: https://imgbb.com/ No need to register, although you can if you want to keep your pics organized. Just upload a pic and grab the url. I've never had them delete a pic on me. Imgur recently said that they would delete any pics that hadn't been accessed for a period of time, I forget how long. Plus, it's obviously a Commie site... I do use it somewhat, because it's the only image hosting site accepted by a certain website I frequent. Okay by me, since they don't seem to be aware, or care, that I'm using them to host decidedly un-Communist pics, haha. Also, what tank is that?

Guess I have to try that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
