  1. By all appearances this is a deal you would want to steer clear of, or if totally serious hop a flight to Houston, and see it in person. 

    The rank payment was to a Houston address, and the account shows Conroe.... Both cities are very close, and it should be noted that some individuals have more than one residence or an alternate billing address. 

    I would recommend that if the seller has been wrongly flagged that he post the pic that was requested, and the everybody will have a slightly more warm and fuzzy feeling - even then a $500 trip to TX for BBQ or Texmex, and a hands on examination would be warranted in my book.

  2. If you want a watermark inserted on the image, then you need to upload it to enable watermarking under your account preferences, and then upload the image to Sturm... Images linked from other hosts will not get watermarked.

  3. Some sellers have expressed concern about publishing their images here, due to concern about image collectors grabbing them, and using them elsewhere. We have had a custom bit of software done, that now allows you to go into the settings of your account, and have the server watermark your image with the Sturmgewehr.com logo (if you don't select your own), or with your own custom watermark - you must however enable this feature - if you don't enable it, your images will continue to be posted without watermark (which many wish to do as well).

    I recommend that if you make your own custom watermark, that you do it as a transparent png or gif, and have it set to 10-30% visibility of your original image. 

    Here are the steps to setup the watermarking, as well as some sample outputs.

    On the settings, turn the watermarking on, and optionally upload your own watermark.

    Then click Save.

    yes would like it on selected pics only,,TKS

    We will see what the developer comes up with - my preference was per post, but a lot of this is driven by the core forum software, and templates and what they allow ... anyway, tomorrow will tell us more.

     

    * BTW the Sokolov mount in the above shots will be listed in the near future .. if interested, contact David Albert here on the boards (ideally for local pickup in southern Ohio).

  6. The current development path is to see if it can be made optional per post; if not then the fallback is to have it be a feature that you enable/disable by default under your user profile.

    Anyway, we are pressing on.. Unfortunately the value of the items we have here attract a different element than a forum for Sunflower enthusiasts, so we have to come up with extra methods to safeguard things, that other types of discussion / ad sites don't have to consider.
