Hello from east central Wisconsin

I have been following you guys and gals on BLF for quite sometime, so much that I feel like I know most of you. I finally made the jump and joined so I can join in on your conversations. Thanks to you I have quite the collections of LED lights, batteries and chargers. I live for photon throwers, batteries and chargers. ALOT of my friends think I’m NUT’S for spending so much $ on flashlights and things that go with them.

Now a little back ground on myself. I use to put leds on my r/c trucks ,Blackfoot, and others. I still have Sanyo SCR 1200mah and SCE 1700mah battery packs from when they first came out. That brings us to now, we have Sanyo XX 2500mah AA batteries. I still can’t believe how far we came with way more to come. Pretty soon we’ll have XM-L10 and 4000 mah AA’s.

On a serious note, it is GREAT to FINALLY be part of this awesome forum (admin). It is great to talk to “others” like me.

Welcome! Lot to learn, lot of help here too. Any Q's, just ask...

BTW, what does the "P" stand for?

Welcome BIG-P you will fit in just fine here,I'd be interested to see what you have amassed so far."Normal"people will never understand what we do here,lol.

P is the first letter of my last name. Everyone at work calls me Big P, it is just a nickname that stuck =)

I have a pic but not sure how to post pictures. I have Zebra Lights, Amrytek, Convoys, Sunwayman, Surefire, Nitcore, Jetbeam, Trustfire, Smallsuns.

Whoa da, nice collection - definitely your not green... Ok Big P it is !

Welcome to the forum BigP. Lots to learn and share.

Welcome .

Welcome to BLF, BIG-P! You joined just in time to enter my giveaway! :wink:

Thanks and awesome!!! :slight_smile:

Close, try using ! marks before and after the photo URL. :slight_smile:

Hmm the only way i can get a picture to show is by going to photobucket, click on my picture then over to "Links to share this photo" and to direct. Then i just simply clicked it and pasted it in the text, not using the add photo icon. Then i tried all 4 of the options using the "Insert Image" icon. After doing that it and trying to preview it, it always just brings up the text in the preview or sends me back to the beginning of my post. I tried adding ! to all the above mentioned and it just simply will write it as text. Thanks alot for all the help:) I'm just curious if there is some setting not set correctly since i am new perhaps?

That’s odd…

When using your direct link to the photo, I can make it show by either using the ! or using the image icon.

Try using a different image host?

Thanks for the info, I'll have to try that later.

Welcome, Big-P. I see you’ve jumped right in and appear to be way ahead of where many of us were when we were first flashahol-ized. hehe

You’ll fit like a hand in glove (in fact, you already have)!

Don’t see any modded Maglites. You’ll need to see OL about that deficiency.

In photobucket, did you click on the I (italic) button? It brings up the various links. Direct is the second one down. Then back to post, click image link and paste direct link in URL window, 100% in size, then ok.
