TFP has disabled the ability to post images (temporary I was told) unless you belong to an off-site server such as photobucket, etc. I do not so I am unable to post images anymore here. TFP has also removed this thread from the "New Posts" tab so we have lost many of the viewers we once had. Perhaps one day TFP will restore this thread's user-friendliness once again. It's been an immense pleasure and I thank all who participated, viewers and posters alike. The images triggered compassion, tears, laughter, anger, love, awareness, insight, motivation, appreciation, intrigue, knowledge, wisdom, and more. Thank you....and peace to all, shell
Edit: Only hours after this post, tfp moved this thread back into the "New Posts" tab. Thank you.

i've been posting some of my own stuff forever... use the "advanced" key, click on the paper clip, and go...

uncle phil, you have been using a different method by being a member of a site that stores your URL's from your photos. But if you are like me and don't want to join photobucket or the like then you have to use TFP's "Manage Attachments" from their "Options" box which is now missing from mine. All my images posted in this thread since the beginning have all had a white line around every photo with the words "attached image" at the top of each photo...typical of anyone's images using this option. I was told this option disabling is temporary while cynthetiq works on the new design of tfp. But the removal of the thread from the "New Posts" tab is not intended to be temporary unless tfp changes their minds.
Edit: Eight hours after this post, TFP did in fact change their minds about including this thread in the "New Posts" tab. Thank you. An announcement to this effect was posted by Cynthetiq in the "General Discussions" forum: Quote:

It must be an option available for moderators only. I don't have it anymore. Cynthetiq PMed me to forewarn me that he was removing it to work on the design of the site...and it is now removed...for me anyway.

since discovering the paper clip sometime this past November, it's the only way to go...
(I don't really like sharing these sorts of imagery, but I do see the message, and the coordination seemed very fun, grander than life.)
