Picture didn’t post, but I really would love to see it.

The picture is attached to the thread. You'll have to go out to the forum level and click on the paper clip to the far right of the thread title. That will open a pop-up window with a link to the picture.

Man, is that a strange way to handle an image in a forum.

No argument here. Might be the way the OP was trying to embed the image. Or maybe an obscure setting in their profile. Or it could be their browser set up.

I've had no problems embedding an image directly into a post on this forum with any of the browsers I've used (originally IE, then Chrome, then Edge briefly, and now Firefox, until recently. I've been getting 403 Forbidden messages when trying to respond (including trying to make this post).

I've been getting this with Firefox too.

Gents in the past couple of weeks, something has changed somewhere... probably another darn software "upgrade" full of bugs... It WAS simple to add pictures, and I had posted a few, but know, well it is just a nightmare! This is the only site that gives me trouble... MeWe and a couple other places, do just fine like this site did up until a couple weeks ago.

Thanks to Kenneth for getting it to show up!

It showed up in t hge previews, but not when I posted it... Margaritas are not the answer to computer issues, but they are a solution!

I should have clarified a bit more above - I wasn't trying to indicate any strange behavior on your part, but rather than of the forum. Why on earth one would want a user to embed an image in a thread title?

Anyone, the sgian dubh looks very nice, Dave - it's got a thoughtful, handmade quality to it.

Thanks for the complements.

The handle is shaped to fit MY hand for comfortable, firm, hopefully non-slip grip.

The phone camera does not capture the color variation and grain swirl very well, unfortunately.
