Just curious

I am new to this forum (this is my 13th post) and just curious about something. In the "shots" section, is it poor etiquite to post your own picture in a thread after somebody starts one of their own? While I have your attention, go to davespics.com (don't type www)....

Its usually considered to be poor form to do so. Its a type of hi-jacking someone else's thread. How would you feel if you posted an osprey shot and were getting responses and then some dude comes along and posts some of his osprey shots in your thread and folks start commenting on his shots. If you have a shot you want to share just start a new thread.

I agree, in general. Bad manners. On the other hand, if you have something that is highly relevant to a discussion under way, I think it is OK to include a link to the pic. Others may disagree on that point, :dunno

:agree I'm with Richard, links are fine if it relates to the discussion in the thread. I think it stifles any discussion to not be able to compare and relate to previous work.

What if someone started a thread with a picture showing how a particular product works to show people how nicely it does work because people were questioning the product....and then you post your own picture to show your support in the product......example....the LSII thread in the accessories forum.

I posted a picture in there later in the thread, not realizing it could be in bad taste to do so.....I hope I did not upset anyone (don't think I did?)

I'd say it's all in how you do it. There's more to hijacking a thread than just adding a picture. I think that as long as you keep the thread on topic, all in all, you're fine. That's how I feel about it anyway.
