Here is how I post a pic from Tapatalk on an iPhone 10.
I click on the reply-to-thread icon at the lower right (orange arrow):
Enter any text I want to post.
Then I click on the retrieve-photos-from-my-stored-images icon (looks like mountains in a photo):
This brings up photos stored on my phone:
Then I click on the one I want (since I don’t have the paid version of Tapatalk I can only do one at a time):
Then Tapatalk will let me know how that upload is coming along:
It will be displayed in code with image-tags around it:
Then I unclick the option that advertises for Tapatalk (but that is not required):
Then hit “Reply” in the upper right corner.
Hope that helps a bit. Looking forward to seeing your hats!
I've several other hobbies and interests that might be at home here (vintage fountain pens, for instance?), but that should do for now. Off to ask a question or three about my "new" Resistol.
Welcome everyone, a great bunch of guys here and tons to learn and share.
Nice to see another vintage fountain pen enthusiast. I didn’t really see a thread for them, but posted one of mine here if you want to post a few:

I found an older Carhartt chore coat for dirty work at a local thrift store a while back. Was informed by a well traveled church member what SNET was.
Hey everyone, new to the forum but long time hat enthusiast. I have recently rediscovered my grandfather’s hats that I got when he passed in 1977. I’ll make a separate post on one of them to see if anyone can help me date it.

Another Smelly Newbie here.
Many years ago I used to walk past NYC's oldest hat store on a daily basis and eventually got suckered in and came out with a beautiful Stetson bowler.
Pleased as punch with my purchase I went into a deli, picked up a bottle of Guiness Stout, a hard boiled egg and a copy of the NY Times and went down to Washington Square Park to read the paper and have lunch.
I open my beer and start to see what craziness is going on in the world at large and I feel a TAP! on top of my hat.
Looking up, what do I see but a pigeon's ass right above me.
Where is a shotgun when you need it?
My hat collection got destroyed in a flood many years ago and due to a recent heart attack I've been put on blood thinners and can now feel the cold like everyone else. Time to buy a hat (or 15).
Here's one I picked up on CraigsList which was owned by a Scottish gentleman who would only take it out on special occasions like when he wore his kilt.
It's a Lock & Co. Town Coke hat in perfect shape with the box.
There are very few people in this area (Central Pennsyltucky, USA) wearing real hats these days so it's time to class the place up a bit.
So far, no pigeon damage.
P.S.
I named my first Burmese Python, back in the late 70s, "Frunobulax" because I knew how big that little guy curled up in my hand was going to get!
