I have seen this same problem on a few other posts but I'd like to ask what I'm doing wrong when posting pictures. As soon as I insert my first picture, all of my text following that first picture comes out blue and underlined. It doesn't seem to matter whether I insert the photos first and then add the text or write out all the text and then insert the photos where they belong. Am I missing something?

Hang in there, some will come along and explain it. I used to get the same thing using Photo Bucket, but I don't any more, and forget just what is was that cured it!

I wonder if that is an anomoly of the particular browser you use? I sometimes see that with Brent's [Batman] replies with photos.
There is a forum testing site where you can experiment without cluttering up the boards here:

Another oddity I've never figured out is that if you use punctuation in your headline the forum software adds all sorts of hypertext to it ONLY after you edit it once.
Say I write B&O
The title of the thread will read Bamp-n-amp&O or some such gibberish.
Why does the spell-check work in the PM butr NOT the forum reply box?
These are imponderables
Good Luck, Ed

One of the greatest questions ever asked.

Put a double space after your photo. Then enter.
I had that problem for years.

Here goes a test.
Did that work?
Geez, could it really have been that easy? Thanks all!!!
It worked. I usually post my photos at the end so it has only happened once before to me. I'll keep that trick in mind.

That's a great picture! How did you do the corn and the background? Dan
Thanks. The cornfield was created using three Busch cornfield kits to build three long rows of 3D corn. The idea was to try to make the three rows of corn transition into and continue on up the backdrop to the horizon line. With that idea in mind, I tried to paint corn stalks on the backdrop by simply applying upward moving brush strokes about as long as on the Busch corn stalks and using varied shades of green paint. I applied shorter and shorter brush strokes as I moved up to the horizon line. Once the backdrop was painted, I mounted the three rows of cornstalks with the front row directly on the layout deck, the second row about an 1/8" higher and the third row another 1/8" higher than the second (I probably should have gone a little higher on the third row). The effect worked fairly well and the perimeter "wind break" trees keep layout visitors from picking it apart. The field between the corn and the perimeter trees was created by peeling off one outside layer from a piece of corrugated cardboard and gluing the cardboard "furrow" side up to the layout deck. I used Sculptamold to blend the edges of the cardboard into the scenery. The left half of the field has already been planted and young growth is visible along the top of each furrow. This was done by applying a thin bead of white glue along the top of each furrow then sprinkling ground foam on top. Once the glue dried, a quick vacuuming cleaned evrything up. The right side of the field was modeled in a similar manner but shows the field in the process of being plowed. I used a Bachmann tractor pulling a GHQ plow kit with the blades adjusted to match the cardboard furrows. The last furrows to be plowed were cut off at an angle that matches the angle on the plow so the tractor and plow could be positioned there. Sculptamold was again used to blend everything into the scenery. Below is the same scene taken from the far right end.
I think all your effort paid off. Thats a really effective scene. Thanks for the 'splanation. I might try to apply that on my layout.
And you got past the blue letter plague. Dan
