Is posting JPG's here OK?

Is posting JPG's here OK? I've asked a couple of wiring question and presenting a picture would clarify my current setting.

Can't be done!

The preferred method is to post it to one of the "binary groups" (alt.binaries.*), or to an ftp server, and then post a link to it here.

If you can't manage either one, go ahead and try posting it to this group, but many ISPs these days are blocking binary attachments outside alt.binaries.

It CAN be done, it SHOULDN'T be done

No but you can post a link.

And then some idiots wrote,

It can't be done .........

It shouldn't be done ............

It both can't and shouldn't be done ........

etc.

Post a link to a url where your jpgs are. It is done all the time. Your ISP may have just such a service, or they have many such sites on the Internet.

John,

Don't post binary files to a non-binary newsgroup. What you can do, however, is post your images to the web and post links to them in your posts.

There are a few good free image hosting sites. I recommend

Just upload an image file there, and it will spit out a URL to use.

Hope this helps.
