(As listed at the top of the page) now requires a user name and password when you try to display a photo.
It used to work, so securityarms.com changed something. Just FYI... Cliff |

Thats rather stupid. Why bother doing it? OR IS JUST THE IMAGE OF A MACHINE GUN NOW RESTRICTED? Thats just crappy. I'll have to find another sight with an image collection like that. Maybe one with better photos anyway. |

George-
Actually, when I put that link up, I didn't realize it was NFA only. If you find a more encyclopedic link, let me know. Rich |

George: People have a nasty habit of inserting multiple direct image links to SecurityArms' photos into their forum posts and even their webpages. Thus, SecurityArms' servers take a hit every time those threads and off-site pages are opened.
It is the moral equivalent of borrowing a friend's car and bringing it back with an empty gas tank. You are using up their server resources with no credit attributed. Proper netiquette dictates that it is better to provide the site's URL instead of direct image links when multiple photos are involved. |

It DOES work, it just didn't used to be a requirement - a minor PITA and one that I didn't understand.
Daniel's post I think explained it very well... I shoulda thunk of that, myself. Doh! I wasn't trying to cause a problem or appear to be complaining. As an alternative, there's always the Firearm Image Library hosted by rec.guns. I TRY not to take TFL for granted, but then excellence, once grown accustomed to... Cliff |
