I bought this gun which appears to be from the Middle East and it has a Snider but the firing pin action was removed and a musket nipple installed . it's a "Cap and Ball" rifle. Anyone know anything about this franken gun? Thanks

if you uploaded the picture successfully you should get to it (Browsing) by clicking the tree icon & looking at the list on the left. Simply click on that & an image to verify should appear in the right panel. If its the correct one the OK & it will be posted into your current posy at the location of the cursor.

I never saw "Browse" ! I decided to resize my picture which was accepted. It had to be done twice . There has to be something I'm missing here.

 Well it's different than many of the sites I belong to. In those ,I put the xd chip into the tower and it uploads the pictures. The sites have an icon ,usually a paperclip . You click on that, and pick a picture ,click on that and it's uploaded. If you've done ebay , you know what I'm talking about. Here , everyone says click onto "Browse". I never saw "Browse" no matter what anyone told me to do. I clicked on the tree, uploaded the pictures and then when I clicked "Upload" it said I had to use "Browse". Didn't say where it was or how to find it ,just had to use "Browse" to post . I just think it could be simpler.
