    Maybe someone's phone number?

    Photos might be useful.

    After you've written whatever you want, go to the array of icons above the field where you just wrote. Hold your cursor over the icons at the far right and identifying labels will pop up. You will want to find "Insert Image" and click on it.

    I think it’s a browser issue after looking at the link?

    I am guessing that you might be looking at this with a phone and looking at the mobile app. It looks like this (see below). If so, scroll down to the bottom and click the link that says "Full Site" and you will be able to see the icons. There is an old mobile version of this site which is lacking many features.

    These looks like some Korean-made mandolins that flooded North America in the 1980s or so. Could be ok to learn on but nothing too special. You may need to check the set up on it.

    It's one of these. Brought into the country with dozens of brand names and many with no name at all. They sell cheap on eBay.
