BennysRR, explain what you are trying to do and how your going about it.  That might help someone figure out your problem.  Would also help me as I want to post some pictures soon but not sure how.

Best Regards,

Have you seen the thread at the top of the page in model rail roaders forum?

If not it may help you figure out what's wrong.

Posting pictures on the new forum format is a pain.  You have to cut and paste the entire URL with the little [img] tags from a NOTEPAD doucument in order to kill the hyperlink, a WORD doc is no good, it has to be from a NOTEPAD. 

I don't like the new way of doing it, it's harder to use and other forums have much smoother and user friendly postings.  There is no reason it can't be done here in the same way as the other forums.

I tried what you told me, in all i tried to post pictures 8 times and no luck , THIS IS THE MOST UNFRIENDY PLACE to post pictures , it seems they don't want you to post pictures .
so i'll stop trying to post pictures , and move on , the old forum was more post friendly of pictures . Rene if you read this, remove my name and profile from the forum. BEN

Here is how it looks with asterisks to make the code visible:

(I composed it in my Word program first and then copied and pasted it here.)

ok lets see , this is a test ..[*img]http://www.cjandm.com/7-15-2006Pics/maxres/653.jpg[*/img] I don't know , this is the code that I always used before , minus the asterisks and it always worked before . I copy my picture properties directly from my website .

try cut and pasting the URL complete with [img} tags through a NOTEPAD document.  I am not computer savvy for the most part, but you have to kill the hyperlink before posting on the forum.  If you cut directly from a WORD doc or from a web site you still may have an active hyperlink and it won't work.

This way of posting is the most irritating, un user friendly, POS way I've ever seen it done.  I am on another forum not related to trains and you can simply upload directly from your C drive folder to the web site, no muss, no fuss.  I don't post nearly as many photos as I used to or want to because I just don't have the time to fool around with the new formatting.  Shame really.  I wonder how much good information is being lost without photo support.
