Thanks!

I live upstate in the Finger Lakes (Lehigh Valley turf) and love NY Central's 4-6-4 Hudsons.

I don't model any prototype scenes, most seem boring to me, can't compete with God! I prefer to model freelance, mix steam and diesel, unknown time period, and like scenery over operations. Dream is floor-to-ceiling mountains.

Thank you TBat55.
I will try that post later.
I saw your last post and wow it looks great. I see your doing New York Central. Are you from New York? I'm in New York also. Let me know.

Oops. A couple of typos.

Here's the Properties+Address for the image shown above. It's what gets copied and pasted between [ i m g ] and [ / i m g ] (but omit the extra spaces)

I just got it to work. I tried several times before without success, but here's what worked for me:

Step #1: Find a website
You need to find a website that lets you store (upload) your photos. There are several "hosting" websites and many are free. The only one I got to work was www.shutterfly.com; it is free (they hope you'll someday order prints from them) and easy to use. The other sites didn't work with my cookie/ad blockers.

Step #2: Upload your pictures
Sign in to the website, create an album, and add your digital pictures.

Step #3: Get ready
You need to create a link between this forum and the website. I launch Internet Explorer TWICE so I can see my forum reply and my photo album at the same time (2 separate windows). In the windows with your pictures, find the image you want and double-click it so it gets bigger. NOTE: What You See Is What You Get. If it's a tiny view it will be tiny in the forum.

Step#4: Copy and paste the link
Reply to a message on this forum. In the message box, type something like:
This is a test
Now switch back to the forum reply box, place your cursor after the right bracket and press Ctrl+V (hold Ctrl key and press "V") to paste the Address.

You should now see this in the Message:
This is a test
[im g]whatever-you-copied-and-pasted-for-the-link[/im g]
Note: omit the blank between m & g. It's here to prevent a real link.

I you do this with many images, put a blank line in between for easier viewing. My first attempt can be found at photo fun for last Sunday 2/6.

Hello everyone,

How do you go about inserting an image or drawing to your post? I have a drawing of my workbench that was done with Microsoft Paint. I want to show it and have questions on.
Thank You in advance for your help.
